Development Engineering standard right-of-way or public utility easement conditions:
Site-specific Conditions:
Approved work hours in the easement and temporary traffic control configuration in private driveway shall be coordinated with property owner and shall be compliant with the recorded water easement (AFN 200901270741). No work proposed, and therefore permitted, in the public right-of-way.
- All work proposed in the recorded water easement (AFN 200901270741) shall comply with the conditions of said easement. The City of Puyallup does not authorize or permit utility work outside the water utility easement. The permit holder shall be responsible to obtain the necessary permissions from property owners prior to starting work.
- Prior to tapping the new water services, the contractor, in the presence of the City Inspector or City Water Department, shall determine the location of the two proposed taps and the tap location of the future 8" water service to serve the future WSDOT weigh station.
- A 10" diameter core drill is allowed for potholing. For pothole windows larger than 10" in diameter or trenching completed in the existing recorded water utility easement, the contractor shall restore the pavement by installing the trench patch and then grinding/overlaying. All roadway restoration and street patches shall comply with City Standard Detail 01.01.20 including the property owner's predefined expectations. Restoration limits and requirements shall be at the discretion of the City.
- The recorded water easement (AFN 200901270741) does not overlap the northern property line of tax parcel number 0420212073 at all locations. Since the proposed water services must be installed entirely within the existing easement, they must be tapped further west on the 16" DI water main than what is currently depicted on the site plan. The new water services can only cross to tax parcel number 0420212702 where the easement boundary overlaps the property line. If the overlapping area of the easement and property line is unclear in the field, the City reserves the right to require the contractor to hire a licensed surveyor to determine the location of the water services in relation to the property lines and easement area.
- The "proposed 5/8" meter" water service shall be installed per City Standard Detail 03.03.01-1. The water meter box shall be installed on the City-side of the WSDOT fence and within the recorded utility easement. The water service shall be protected with a DCVA backflow protection device installed per City Standard Detail 03.04.01 and located on the WSDOT-side of the fence.
- The "proposed 2" meter" water service shall be installed per City Standard Detail 03.03.02. The water meter box shall be installed on the City-side of the WSDOT fence and within the recorded utility easement. The water service shall be protected with a DCVA backflow protection device installed per City Standard Detail 03.04.01 and located on the WSDOT-side of the fence. If any trucks utilities the 2-inch water service do not have built-in air gaps, the backflow protection device shall be immediately upgraded to an above-ground reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA). The City may periodically inspect tank trucks utilizing the 2-inch water service for compliance with the City's cross-connection program.
- The entire water service, including the meters, shall be furnished and installed by licensed contractor at the expense of the applicant or developer.
- The City typically requires a Civil Construction Application for commercial water and sewer hookups, but in an effort to expedite the permitting process, Mark Higginson, PE, allowed a residential utility connection permit application instead. Therefore, the permit holder is responsible to verify with the City that no more 15 plumbing FUWs are accounted for in the future trailers and staging facility.
