It shall be the responsibility of the City Council, to prepare, formulate, and reduce to writing general requirements for improvements and construction design to be required within subdivisions in this municipality. These requirements and design standards shall be distributed to subdividers wishing to develop property within this municipality and shall have the force and effect of law. It shall be the responsibility of the City Manager to enforce these standards. These standards shall cover such subjects as standards for construction drawings, content of construction drawings, provisions for inspections, guaranteeing of work, standards for the use of soil within the subdivision, standards for asphalt paving and cement use, standards for telephone service, standards for installation of pipelines, standards for pipe fittings and the use thereof, standards for the installation of man holes and other provisions for the maintenance, cleaning, and testing of water and sewer lines, standards for the installation of electrical facilities, and other such standards and requirements as to the Planning Commission may seem necessary.

Structures, erected within a subdivision in which a soils engineering report has been required, must be built in accordance with the Engineering Standards adopted by the City Council. This shall be in addition to all other building code requirements.

The Building Inspector shall have the authority to deny a building permit to a builder proposing to erect a structure not in compliance with the final Engineering Standards adopted by the City Council. The City Engineer may assist the Building Inspector in determining the compliance of builders with the engineering report. The Building Inspector shall maintain a complete copy of soils engineering report for inspection and review by the general public and for his own use in performing the duties of the Building Inspector.

All improvements shall be installed in accordance with City Specifications.

All subdivisions shall comply with the following standards:

1. General Standards. The design and development of subdivisions shall preserve insofar as possible the natural terrain, natural drainage, existing topsoil and trees.
2. Lot Size Standards.
3. Where no zoning regulations are in effect, density standards or minimum lot size requirements may be specified by the Planning Commission, based on interpretations made from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, and other procedures and available information. All lots shall conform to area requirements of any existing Zoning Ordinance.
4. All residential lots in subdivision shall front on a public street, or on a private street or court.

6. Street Standards.
7. The street or highway layout shall conform to the General Plan and official map adopted by the Planning Commission and the City Council.
8. Paved stub streets shall be provided where needed to connect to adjacent undeveloped land and new streets must be provided where needed to connect to existing stub streets in adjacent subdivisions. Not more than six (6) lots shall front on a stub street.
9. Minor streets shall approach the major or collector streets at an angle of at least eighty (80) degrees.
10. Subdivider/developer shall design street patterns to provide reasonable access to subdivisions. When a subdivision creates a minimum of eighty (80) lots, a minimum of two (2) access roads shall be provided.

1. Cul-de-sacs must be terminated in a turn-around in accordance with Enoch City Engineering Standards. If surface water drainage is into the turn-around due to the grade of the streets, necessary catch basins and drainage easements shall be provided. Where a street is designed to remain only temporarily as a dead-end street, an adequate temporary turning area shall be provided at the dead-end thereof to remain and be available for public use so long as the dead-end exists.
2. Easement Standards
3. Easements shall follow rear and side lot lines whenever practical and shall have a minimum total width of fifteen (15) feet, apportioned equally in abutting properties.

5. All easements shall be designed so as to provide efficient installation of utilities or street planting. Special guying easements at corners may be required. Public utility installation shall be so located as to permit multiple installations within the easements. The developer shall establish final utility grades prior to utility installations.
6. Utilities to be Underground. Unless the Planning Commission and Governing Body determine, upon application by the subdivider/developer, supported by recommendation of the City Engineer, that it is not feasible to do so, all power lines, telephone lines, and other normally overhead utility lines shall be placed underground by the subdivider/developer.

In order to allow the more efficient use of land which otherwise may be inaccessible except through unnecessary streets, flag or L-shaped lots may be allowed.
