Standard plans for the construction, improvement and maintenance of highways, bridges, flood control, landscaping, grading, small drainage structures, irrigation and recreational facilities; and for the protection, supervision, management, control or use of such facilities, shall, from time to time, be submitted by the public works director and shall, upon approval and adoption by resolution, be enforced by him, and complied with and adhered to, except as provided by section 14.02.230, by developers, builders, contractors, subcontractors, agents and all others engaged in such construction, improvement or maintenance.

In any case where strict adherence to the public works director's standard plans and specifications enumerated in section 14.02.220 would be impractical or unreasonable, the planning director or his designee may grant such modification or deviation therefrom as will, in accord with good engineering practice and the public health and safety, conform to a plan that will, under the circumstances in such case, be practical and reasonable.
