20.05.02 REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS

When any new development is proposed within the Town of Genola, all the following provisions shall be required by the Planning Commission and Town Council to ensure that impacts caused by the new development are mitigated as much as possible. These provisions are designed to protect the health, safety and general welfare of all citizens within the Town of Genola. 1. Water: Demonstrate that an adequate and permanent supply of water is available to serve both culinary and fire protection needs for the entire development, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. 2. Water Lines: All on-site water lines shall meet the standards set forth in the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code. When a development impacts the off-site water delivery system, the developer shall be required to provide upgrades to the off-site water delivery system in a proportionate amount equal to the impacts caused by the development, as determined by the Planning Commission. 3. Secondary Water Systems: If the property either has in the past or is currently using non-culinary grade irrigation water, a secondary watering system shall be required to be installed for all outdoor watering. A separate section of this ordinance is the Secondary Water Standards. 4. Sewer: Demonstrate that adequate sewer facilities will be installed that meet all sanitary sewer regulations of the County Health Department. If the development cannot be served by septic systems, the Planning Commission shall require installation and perpetual maintenance of a package plant sewage treatment facility to service the development. The Town of Genola does not have a sewage treatment facility to provide sewer services to large developments that cannot be served by a package plant sewage treatment system. 5. Streets: All streets within a development shall be constructed to meet the width, pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, striping, etc. standards for dedicated public streets, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. When a development substantially impacts off-site transportation routes, the Planning Commission shall require all impacted streets to be upgraded by the developer in a proportionate amount equal to the impact caused to the street system by the new development. 6. Other Information: The applicant may be required by the Planning Commission to provide such reports and studies which will provide information relating to other utilities, traffic impacts, school impacts, soil and water target studies, engineering reports, financing availability, market considerations, neighborhood support and any other information which may be needed to render a proper decision. 7. Clean Public Rights-of-Way: When installing any subdivision improvements or operating under any building permit, the property owner shall be required to remove from all paved streets all debris, trash, mud, or dirt tracked out from the project. All trucks and equipment leaving the site with earthen materials or loose debris shall be loaded and/or covered in such a manner as to prevent the dropping of materials on the streets. Ramps should be constructed over the edge of asphalt material to protect the material from damage by trucks entering and exiting construction sites. The street shall not be used for storage of debris, dirt or materials. All construction waste shall be removed from the property and disposed of in an approved manner. If it becomes necessary for the Town to remove any mud, dirt, or debris which has been deposited upon a street of Genola, the total cost to the Town of such removal will be charged to the property owner or contractor (permit holder), including legal fees, if any. Payment of such charges will be made to the Town prior to certification of final inspections, utility clearances, and issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The Mayor or the Mayor’s designee is also empowered to suspend a permit until the permit holder installs necessary cleaning equipment to ensure that no dust or debris is deposited upon the streets of the Town of Genola. Because impacts caused by very low-density residential development tend to be minimal, these provisions may not apply to single family homes constructed at a density equal to or less than one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) acres. Residential development that has a density equal to or less than one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) acres may have all or a portion of these provisions waved, as determined by the Planning Commission.
