16.35.010 What this chapter does.
This chapter establishes development standards for all developments within Eagle Mountain City. When considering development applications, the planning director, planning commission and city council shall evaluate such applications using the provisions of this chapter. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.1); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.1); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.1)].
16.35.020 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to set forth specific development standards that require all developments to install public water, wastewater, utility systems, vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems, sidewalks, trails, paths, and neighborhood and regional park facilities. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.2); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.2); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.2)].
16.35.030 Eagle Mountain City Construction Specifications and Standards.
The city has adopted a publication titled, “Eagle Mountain City Construction Specifications and Standards.” The provisions, standards and specifications found in this manual (and as amended in the future) are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The city engineer shall use this manual in the review of proposed construction plans for public facilities. Developers and subdividers shall also use this manual in the preparation of their construction plans. In addition, required improvements shall be installed in compliance with this title and any capital facilities plans, design and engineering standards separately adopted by the city or other agencies responsible for providing services to the development. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.3); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.3); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.3)].
16.35.040 Potable water.
All proposed developments shall be reviewed by the city engineer and city attorney for compliance with the drinking water source protection plan approved by the city and approved by the Utah Drinking Water Division in compliance with the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act and all applicable federal law.
A. Connection to City Water System. All permanent buildings constructed in the city intended for human occupancy or commercial use, using potable water, shall be connected to the city water system after the date of the adoption of the ordinance codified in this title, unless an existing home as of the date of enactment of the ordinance codified in this title is connected to an individual well approved by the state of Utah. An exception may be granted by the city council upon recommendation by the public works board to allow property owners to have water service by private wells when it is not feasible to connect to the city’s water system.
B. Developer’s Responsibilities. Developments shall be connected to the city’s water system at the developer’s expense. This includes water rights, costs of the service connection and meter for each lot or building, and the costs of extending mains, valves, fire hydrants, and any other improvement, including storage, pressure regulation, etc., needed to bring water service to the site. Ownership of the water system shall be dedicated to the city. Each individual property owner shall be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the individual service lateral connected to the main water line from the point of the meter to the building served by the service lateral. The city may choose to share in the costs of extending mains, constructing storage, or other improvements needed to provide capacity for future development but is not obligated to do so. Potable water service is a required improvement, subject to the provisions of this title.
C. Residential Water Rights. Table 16.35.130(a), Residential Water Right Requirements, is provided in this chapter for convenience. It defines the amount of water rights that shall be dedicated to the city for detached single-family residential uses. The city engineer shall calculate water rights for other uses including commercial, multifamily residential, industrial and recreational uses after a site-specific analysis is performed for the proposed use. Water rights to service detached single-family dwellings shall be dedicated to the city prior to the recordation of the subdivision. Water rights to service commercial uses, multifamily residential uses, industrial and recreational uses shall be dedicated to the city prior to the issuance of the building permit. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.4); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.4); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.4)].
16.35.050 Wastewater disposal (sewer).
On-site wastewater disposal systems may be used by individual homes where the lot size is one-half acre or more. Such systems shall be installed in compliance with applicable state and county health department requirements. Other developments shall be connected to the city’s sewer system at the developer’s expense. This includes the costs of the service lateral connection for each lot or building and the costs of extending mains, lift stations, and any other improvement needed to bring sewer systems to the site. Ownership of the collection system must be dedicated to the city by each developer installing a sewer system. In such cases where a change in city ordinances results in a requirement for connection to a public sewer system, adjacent existing facilities on private systems may elect to connect on their own volition, except in such cases where failure to do so would result in a legitimate health, safety or welfare issue. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.5); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.5); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.5)].
16.35.060 Public utilities.
Electric power, telephone and natural gas service shall be provided in all developments, at the developer’s expense and in compliance with the detailed performance standards of “Eagle Moun-
tain City Construction Specifications and Standards,” or if municipal utilities are not available, by the service provider and in accordance with this title. Utility lines shall be underground. Substations and other utility installations shall comply with all requirements of this title and any other applicable city ordinances.
A. Utilities in First. Underground utilities, including water, sewer, and other utilities, shall be installed and stubbed as required by the city’s adopted construction standards and specifications to each lot or parcel before street surfaces are constructed.
B. Utility Easements. No structure shall be constructed or placed in a utility easement, but fences may cross utility easements, where permitted by the city.
C. Loop Feed. The electrical power, gas, and water systems shall have a loop feed constructed with each phase unless otherwise approved by the city engineer. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.6); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.6); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.6)].
16.35.070 Streets and street systems.
Developments shall be served by dedicated public streets constructed at the developer’s expense, and in compliance with the detailed performance standards of “Eagle Mountain City Construction Specifications and Standards.” This includes the costs of the streets serving each lot, building, or group of buildings and the costs of culverts, bridges, traffic circles and any other improvement, including signs and signals, needed to provide vehicular access to the site. Streets and alleys and their appurtenances are required improvements, subject to the guarantee provisions of Chapter 16.30 EMMC. Roadway improvements that are required by the city and that are in excess of the transportation impact of a development as required by Table 16.35.130(b), Right-of-Way Classifications, will be reimbursed to the developer. The reimbursement mechanism and timing will be negotiated between the city and the developer.
A. Rights-of-Way. Table 16.35.130(b) defines the design characteristics of streets in Eagle Mountain. Streets shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the parameters set forth in this table. Developers are required to dedicate rights-of-way according to this table and according to the city’s master transportation plan. A right-of-way in excess of that necessary for the transportation impact of a given development will be reimbursed by the city. The value of the right-of-way will be established by a current appraisal.
B. Cul-de-Sacs. Cul-de-sacs are discouraged as a design element in subdivisions and are best used where topographic conditions, existing streets, clustering or property ownership make them necessary. In no case shall a cul-de-sac street have a length that exceeds 500 feet measured to the center of the circle or serve more than 15 homes or generate greater than 150 average daily vehicle trips, unless a waiver is granted by the planning commission. Permanent cul-de-sacs shall have a minimum right-of-way radius of 50 feet. All cul-de-sacs shall provide pedestrian connectivity to open spaces, public facilities, sidewalks or trails. No cul-de-sacs will be permitted when the topography has a downward slope without storm water protection plans approved by the city engineer.
C. Temporary Turnarounds. Dead-end streets may be permitted on a temporary basis between phases of development where plans for future streets and street connections will eventually eliminate the dead-end street. Temporary turnarounds shall have a minimum turning radius of 60 feet. The location of temporary turnarounds shall be governed by cul-de-sac service requirements. Turnarounds shall include measures to protect against temporary storm water erosion as approved by the city engineer.
D. Intersection Separation. Street intersections shall be separated by at least 300 feet, centerline to centerline, from any other intersection. Local streets at T-intersections shall be separated by at least 125 feet, centerline to centerline, from any other intersection. The city engineer may require greater separation depending upon the classifications of the intersecting streets.
E. Street Approaches at Intersections. Streets shall approach intersections at 90-degree angles, except that lanes may approach intersections at an angle of 90 degrees plus or minus 10 degrees within 50 feet before the intersection.
F. Maximum Intersection Grades. The maximum grade of intersecting roads shall be four percent. This grade shall be extended a minimum of 100 feet on each leg of the intersection and shall be measured from the edge of the asphalt of the intersecting roadway to the nearest grade break/vertical curve. Collector roads at intersections may increase the maximum grade not to exceed six percent when no traffic control device is required on the collector through street. Detailed storm water and street profile design and construction standards must be submitted for each intersection design to ensure traffic lanes are free from storm water during a 10-year, 24-hour rainfall event and shall be approved by the city engineer.
G. Residential Access onto Collector Roads. No residential lot shall have its primary access onto a collector or arterial street, unless the planning commission determines that such access cannot be avoided due to terrain or other features that cannot be reasonably resolved. In these cases, the planning commission may allow lots with frontage of 100 feet or greater a circular driveway with a radius no less than 24 feet.
H. Access on Alleyways. Homes constructed on lots adjoining alleyways shall have access to the home garage from the alley only and the garage door of the home shall be oriented toward the alley. Lots adjoining alleys shall not be permitted driveway access from the street in front of or adjoining the lot, and all garage doors on lots adjoining alleys shall be oriented toward the alley unless a waiver is granted by the planning commission.
I. Street Design. The design of public and private streets shall be subject to the city’s ordinances, standards and policies regarding construction and width, unless a deviation from such standards is an integral part of an increase in the quality of the development.
J. Streets Dedication. All private streets within a project shall be dedicated as public utility easements and all underground improvements shall be constructed in compliance with the city’s ordinances, standards and policies.
K. Traffic Calming. Traffic calming improvements and design shall be constructed on local streets. Traffic calming improvements include but are not limited to traffic circles, curvilinear roads, narrowed intersections, and raised pedestrian walkways. Traffic calming design will include a mixture of street horizontal layouts, intersection designs, roadside designs that encourage drivers to reduce speeds, and conveniently placed collector roads that reduce overall traffic time. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.7); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.7); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.7)].
16.35.080 Street trees.
Street trees shall be planted in the park strip with an irrigation system along all arterial and collector streets.
A. Tree Specifications. At the time of planting, street trees shall have a trunk caliper of at least one and one-half inches at a location of eight inches above the soil line and be spaced according to size at maturity so that mature crowns overlap slightly with adjacent trees.
B. Bond. The developer shall be required to post a bond for required street trees and related improvements. The bond may be used to replace required landscaping that fails to survive for a period of one year after all planting. The bond will be released after all required landscaping is in place and has survived in good condition for a period of one year after planting. To avoid damage, required landscaping shall be planted as project phases are completed and as early as appropriate based on seasonal requirements. Street trees shall be installed where there is a soil volume sufficient to support healthy trees and an irrigation system. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.8); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.8); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.8)].
16.35.090 Privacy fencing.
Residential developments designed with rear lot lines abutting an arterial road or collector road right-of-way shall install privacy fencing of consistent height (no less than six feet), material and color, and of durable quality along the rear lot lines of all lots with a rear lot line abutting an arterial or collector road. Developer applicants are required to install privacy fencing prior to any building permits being issued in that phase of development. The city council shall be authorized to require a specific material and color for the fencing in a development agreement. [Ord. O-17-2010 § 2 (Exh. A); Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.9); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.9); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.9)].
16.35.100 Sidewalks, trails, and pathways.
Sidewalks shall be provided along both sides of streets, at the developer’s expense, and in compliance with the detailed performance standards of “Eagle Mountain City Construction Specifications and Standards.” Sidewalks are required improvements, subject to the guarantee provisions of Chapter 16.30 EMMC.
A. Developments Not Requiring Sidewalks. Sidewalks are not required along alleys. Sidewalks, curbs, and gutters may not be required in agricultural, base density, or Tier I residential developments (see EMMC 16.30.090 and Chapter 17.25 EMMC). Notwithstanding other provisions of this title, the city council may determine in the development agreement that sidewalks will not be required on one or both sides of the street. Such determination may be made if lot sizes, traffic patterns, wider roads or other related design factors support a more flexible approach. If sidewalks are not required, the city council may specify the completion of other public facilities in lieu of sidewalks.
B. Improved Trails. Developments shall provide improved trails and pathways constructed to “Eagle Mountain City Construction Specifications and Standards” for bicycle and/or horse use which connect the development to other public facilities such as parks or the major existing and planned trails established in the city’s general plan. Connecting trails are required improvements, subject to the guarantee provisions of Chapter 16.30 EMMC.
C. Street Lighting. Street lighting shall be installed where necessary to ensure the safety of pedestrians, but may not be required in agricultural, base density, or Tier I residential developments (see EMMC 16.30.090 and Chapter 17.25 EMMC), except at subdivision entryways. [Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.10); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.10); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.10)].
16.35.105 Pocket park requirements.
Pocket parks shall be a required improvement for subdivisions that have an average lot size less than one-half acre. The amount of land required for pocket parks shall be calculated during the master development plan, preliminary plat and/or site plan approval process, according to the requirements in Chapter 17.30 EMMC, Residential Zone Bonus Density Entitlements. The pocket park requirements are intended to be flexible in order to best provide relief, interest, and a gathering place for a neighborhood.
A. All pocket parks must meet the following requirements:
1. They are to be integrated into the design of the street and residential lot pattern.
2. Pocket parks will generally be at least one-half acre each; however, they can be any configuration that adds amenity and identity to the neighborhood.
3. Pocket parks should provide the greatest accessibility by pedestrians, and no unit/lot should be located more than one-quarter mile from a pocket park, if possible.
4. Each pocket park must have access along a roadway.
5. The community association or local homeowners’ association will maintain the pocket parks.
6. Pocket parks shall be constructed according to a schedule set in the development agreement for the project, but shall be completed no later than after issuing 50 percent of the building permits in the development phase including the park, or 50 percent of the permits in the project, whichever comes first.
7. If the applicant elects to pay a fee in lieu of park construction, 50 percent of the fee is due with the recordation of the first plat, and the second 50 percent is due with the second plat. In the case of only one plat, 100 percent is due with the plat’s recordation. The fee-in-lieu is calculated at $5.75 per square foot of park space and shall be escrowed for the specific park. The required land shall either be dedicated to the city or a fee-in-lieu shall be provided for land purchase based on a third-party appraisal. If a fee-in-lieu is collected, the money shall be used to construct the park according to the timing in the development agreement.
B. The design of the pocket parks shall be largely at the discretion of the builder/developer. At least seven points per 0.1 acre or 70 points per acre are required in the design of a pocket park, according to Table 16.35.130(c), Pocket and Neighborhood Park Elements. The following minimum programming is required for each pocket park:
1. Grass area large enough for children’s play.
2. Shady seating area with benches or tables provided by a shade structure or grove of trees.
3. Parking on adjacent street.
4. Additional uses, such as tot lots or other play structures, depending on the needs of the surrounding neighborhood and proximity to other play structures.
5. Must be connected to the neighborhood by sidewalks or trails.
6. A variety of landscaping, including trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, etc.
7. An appropriate number of garbage receptacles and barbeques with park elements, including pavilions, picnic tables, playground equipment, splash pad, benches, etc. [Ord. O-16-2011 § 2 (Exh. A)].
16.35.110 Neighborhood park requirements.
Neighborhood parks shall be a required improvement for subdivisions that have an average lot size less than one-half acre. The amount of land required for neighborhood parks shall be calculated during the master development plan, preliminary plat and/or site plan approval process, according to the requirements in Chapter 17.30 EMMC, Residential Zone Bonus Density Entitlements.
A. Neighborhood parks shall comply with the following standards:
1. Neighborhood parks shall ideally be between three and five acres in size.
2. No lot/unit should be more than one-half mile from a neighborhood park, if possible.
3. Each neighborhood park must have access along a public road.
4. Neighborhood parks shall be effectively integrated into residential developments and connected with homes, other neighborhood parks, and open space areas via sidewalks or trails.
5. Parks shall be designed with a mixture of enhanced native plantings, ornamental plantings, and grass areas. The landscape treatments shall be designed to enhance the sense of place while remaining water-wise.
6. Parks shall be located as close as possible to the recommended neighborhood park distribution location in the parks and open space master plan.
7. Developers are encouraged to, whenever possible, consolidate neighborhood parks into larger parks that may be used by more than one neighborhood. Collocation with schools or other institutions is also encouraged.
8. Parks shall be constructed according to a schedule set in the development agreement for the project, but shall be completed no later than after issuing 50 percent of the building permits in the development phase including the park, or 50 percent of the permits in the project, whichever comes first.
9. If the applicant elects to pay a fee in lieu of park construction, 50 percent of the fee is due with the recordation of the first plat, and the second 50 percent is due with the second plat. In the case of only one plat, 100 percent is due with the plat’s recordation. The fee-in-lieu is calculated at $5.75 per square foot of park space and shall be escrowed for the specific park. The required land shall either be dedicated to the city or a fee-in-lieu shall be provided for land purchase based on a third-party appraisal. If a fee-in-lieu is collected, the money shall be used to construct the park according to the timing in the development agreement.
B. The design of neighborhood parks is largely to be determined by the builder/developer and the city based on the needs of the neighborhood. At least seven points per 0.1 acre or 70 points per acre are required in the design of a neighborhood park, according to Table 16.35.130(c), Pocket and Neighborhood Park Elements. The following elements are generally included in a neighborhood park:
1. Play structures (creative play structures are recommended).
2. Multi-use play field.
3. Internal trails.
4. Picnic tables.
5. Seating areas (benches).
6. Basketball court.
7. Enhanced open space.
8. Off-street parking.
9. Shelters (pavilions, etc.).
10. An appropriate number of garbage receptacles and barbeques with park elements, including pavilions, picnic tables, playground equipment, splash pad, benches, etc. [Ord. O-16-2011 § 2 (Exh. A); Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.11); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.11); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.11)].
16.35.120 Community parks.
In addition to the pocket and neighborhood park requirements, all development projects are required to dedicate land or pay a fee in lieu for a community park. The amount of land required for community parks shall be calculated during the master development plan, preliminary plat and/or site plan approval process, according to the requirements in Chapter 17.30 EMMC, Residential Zone Bonus Density Entitlements. The park will be improved through impact fees and/or other sources at the city’s timing and discretion. Required land shall be dedicated free and clear of all taxes and encumbrances at recordation of the first subdivision or approval of the first site plan. Development applicants may decide to improve a portion of a community park up front and receive reimbursements at a later date, if agreed upon with the city. If the developer elects to pay a fee-in-lieu, the amount shall be determined through a third-party appraisal. Fee-in-lieu payments are required at recordation.
The focus of a community park is to meet community-based recreation needs, as well as preserve unique landscapes and open spaces. A community park may include any combination of the following: areas suited for intense recreational facilities, such as athletic complexes and large swimming pools; areas of natural quality for outdoor recreation, such as walking, viewing, sitting, and picnicking; community gardens; areas for tot lots or other playground equipment; pavilions; restrooms; and other elements depending upon site suitability and community need. The city will use the parks and open space master plan, as well as existing amenities in nearby parks, to help determine appropriate elements for a specific park. Collocation with schools or other institutions will be pursued, where possible. [Ord. O-16-2011 § 2 (Exh. A); Ord. O-27-2006 § 2 (Exh. A § 7.12); Ord. O-07-2006 § 2 (Exh. 1 § 7.12); Ord. O-23-2005 § 3 (Exh. 1(2) § 7.12)].
16.35.125 Regional parks.
All development projects are required to dedicate land or pay a fee in lieu for a regional park. The amount of land required for regional parks shall be calculated during the master development plan, preliminary plat and/or site plan approval process, according to the requirements in Chapter 17.30 EMMC, Residential Zone Bonus Density Entitlements. Required land shall be dedicated free and clear of all taxes and encumbrances at recordation of the first subdivision or approval of the first site plan. The park will be improved through impact fees and/or other sources at the city’s timing and discretion. If the developer elects to pay a fee-in-lieu, the amount shall be determined through a third-party appraisal. Fee-in-lieu payments are required at recordation.
The focus of a regional park is to meet community-based recreation needs, as well as preserve unique landscapes and open spaces. It also provides a location for larger community-wide amenities, such as a recreation center, a large swimming pool, a sports complex, an amphitheater, a rodeo arena, and other elements depending upon site suitability and community need. The city will use the parks and open space master plan, community desires and needs, and existing amenities in other parks to help determine appropriate elements for a specific regional park. [Ord. O-16-2011 § 2 (Exh. A)].

1 Variance will be considered based on standard design practices and safe operating conditions.
2 The lesser centerline radius standard requires super-elevation based on appropriate design speeds.
3 Distances of less than 200 feet may be approved for one-way intersections, reduced traffic loads, alleys, or other site-specific justification.
4 Distance may be adjusted to a minimum of 30 feet when determined necessary by site plan reviewer.
In addition to grass and other irrigated landscaping, the following elements may be used to achieve the seven points that are required per 0.1 acre (or 70 points per acre) of park property. Park features or elements that are not included in this table may be proposed by an applicant and are assigned points by the planning commission and city council.
