(1) The applicant for a building permit in an approved subdivision shall provide curb, gutter and
sidewalk along the entire property line abutting any public street for all dwellings, commercial or industrial structures, public and quasi-public buildings in locations where it has been determined as being required, at Tooele County standards. Vehicular entrances to the property shall be provided as required in Chapter 6 and Chapter 23 of the Tooele County Land Use Ordinance. Height, location, structural specifications and maximum roadway approach angles to the centerline of the street are subject to approval from the Community Development Department.
(2) A fee may be paid in lieu of improvements when conditions exist which make it unfeasible or impractical to install such curb, gutter and sidewalk. In such circumstances approved by the planning commission, the applicant shall pay Tooele County a fee equal to the cost of such improvements, as estimated by the Community Development Director. Upon payment of such fee, Tooele County shall assume responsibility for future installation of such improvements. The auditor shall deposit such fees in the special account established to hold such fees and shall credit to such account a proportionate share of interest earned from investment of county moneys. Records relating to the identification of properties for which such fees have been collected, fee amounts collected for such properties, and money transfer requests shall be the responsibility of the Community Development Department.
(3) The planning commission may grant an exception to installation of the sidewalk in industrial areas where it determines that the sidewalk is not necessary to serve the public need and the elimination of the sidewalk does not jeopardize the public health, safety and welfare.
(4) The planning commission may grant an exception to the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk in rural or estate areas where topographic or other exceptional conditions exist, provided that the public health, safety and welfare is preserved. (Ord. 2024-11, 10/1/24; Ord. 2005-22, 9/13/05)
