17.10.130 - General Subdivision Requirements.

A.

Subdivision Name. The proposed name of the Subdivision and all roadways contained therein shall not duplicate, or too closely approximate, the name of any other Subdivision or Street in the Area covered by these regulations or those of Salt Lake County, Utah. The Planning Commission shall have final authority to designate the name of the Subdivision and to select Street names.

B.

Survey Monuments. Prior to Final Plat Approval, the Applicant shall place permanent survey monuments in the Subdivision as required herein or as otherwise approved by the City Engineer.

1.

Survey monuments shall be installed in accordance with the South Salt Lake City Construction Specifications and Standard Drawings.

2.

All monuments shall be properly set in the ground and approved by a Registered Land Surveyor prior to the time the Community Development Director or designee recommends approval of the Final Plat unless a performance Guaranty is established in accordance with the provisions of this Code.

C.

Limits of Disturbance/Vegetation Protection. A separate plan that addresses Limits of Disturbance and vegetation protection during construction and re-vegetation of disturbed Areas will be required. This shall include a construction plan for all project improvements such as Streets and utilities and a commitment to replace Significant Vegetation in a ratio of four (4) to four-(4) inch caliper trees for each tree outside of the Limits of Disturbance that qualifies as Significant Vegetation.

D.

Soil Conditions. Consideration must be given to soil conditions and ground water existence and may include appropriate Setbacks or restrictions.

E.

Trails and Sidewalks. Trails and sidewalks shall be provided to allow efficient internal circulation as well as links to adjacent trail systems on other Properties. Existing trails should be maintained and incorporated into open space elements of the project. This may include trails for pedestrian or bicycle use. Construction of new trails will be required concurrently with the installation of other Public Improvements. Although required trails may not link to adjacent trails immediately, each trail is a vital part of an overall Trails Master Plan. In most cases, the homeowners are required to maintain the trails internal to their Subdivision.

F.

Limits of Disturbance/Vegetation Protection. Limits of Disturbance or Building Pad lines shall be shown on the Preliminary and Final Plats if the staff determines that there is Significant Vegetation on the Site or if it is important to clearly designate future Building locations. Limits of Disturbance or Building Pad lines with definitions as approved by the Planning Commission must be reflected on the Final Plat.

G.

Top Soil Preservation and Final Grading. Topsoil shall not be removed from residential Lots or used as spoil, but shall be redistributed so as to provide at least six (6) inches of cover on the Lots and at least four (4) inches of cover between the sidewalks and curbs, and shall be stabilized by seeding or planting.
