sewer mainlines will not exceed the functional capacity of said mainlines. Provision for
connectivity by future developments shall be met in accordance with current City standards.
2. The location of sewer service, including sizing of mains, providing of easements, frontage
construction, and offsite construction are to be decided during review of improvement plans.

Irrination
1. Existing easements and/or right-of-ways for any irrigation facility shall be determined and
clearly indicated on the construction plans. Construction across or re-routing of these facilities
is subject to approval by the Pioneer Irrigation District and at their discretion, their assigns.
Applicant shall provide written approval of the proposed construction drawings from Pioneer
Irrigation prior to City approval of construction drawings.
The Developer shall maintain any existing upstream drainage rights and downstream irrigation
rights across the property. During the design phase of this project, the developer or his
engineer is to contact the appropriate irrigation district to help ascertain these rights.
Appropriate facilities shall be provided by the developer to convey irrigation and drainage water
across the property to take care of these offsite needs. There is to be no discharge of gravity
irrigation return water into the subdivision storm water system.
2. The development shall utilize existing non -potable water for all irrigation and pressure irrigation

subsequent to this application. It is to be noted that retention designs will be denied in most
instances. A copy of this policy is available upon request. The engineer of record is to provide
calculations, which indicate that the assumptions in his stormwater drainage plan comply with
the requirements of the stormwater manual. In this case, if a storm water system is existing, the
burden of proof is on the developer to verify the capacity is sufficient for the proposed
development.
2. The applicant shall identify and retain all historical drainage discharge points from the property
for the purpose of draining on site storm water detention facilities.
