A. When a storm sewer inspection application has been filed the property to be improved shall be inspected by the city’s director of public works, or his or her designate, for a determination of the need to connect to the city’s storm sewer system. Connection to the city’s storm sewer shall be required when all of the following criteria are met:

1. A storm sewer main is located within twenty-five (25) feet of the perimeter of the property, calculated by measurement made only upon property owned by the individual developing the property and upon city rights-of-way.

2. A connection is technically feasible.

3. After the improvements are completed, the property would have significant storm runoff if not connected to the storm sewer system.

B. If the above criteria are met, the city’s director of public works or his or her designate shall determine the types of on-site runoff sources which must be diverted to the storm sewer system in order to eliminate significant storm runoff from the property, and shall advise the property owner of the on-site diversions to be made. The cost of all required on-site diversions shall be the responsibility of the property owner.

C. Inspections under this section shall be performed in accordance with Section 1.08.010 of this code. (Ord. 2000-16 § 4; prior code § 3.910)
