Tustin Municipal Code Part 2 Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Requirements

Any owner, lessee or agent constructing or arranging for the construction of a building or dwelling shall also provide for the construction of combination curbs and gutters out of cement and cement sidewalks in accordance with City specifications, unless adequate curbs, gutters and sidewalks already exist along all street frontage adjoining the lot or lots on which the building or dwelling is to be constructed. (Ord. No. 95, Sec. 3)

In areas not subdivided or parceled into one-half acre or smaller lots, the curb and gutter and sidewalk need not extend a greater distance than the side yards, or side and rear yards in the case of corner lots, as required by Chapter 2 or Article 9, entitled Zoning, of this Code. (Ord. No. 95, Sec. 3)

The building inspector shall deny final approval and acceptance or final public utility connections to any building or dwelling until curbs and gutters and sidewalks exist or are constructed or their construction is guaranteed by cash deposited with the City in a sum equal to one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) per lineal foot for combination cement curbs and gutters and thirty-five cents ($0.35) per square foot for sidewalks. (Ord. No. 95, Sec. 3)

The Building Official shall prior to issuing a permit for a swimming pool require clean-up bonds as follows:

(1) Each applicant for a swimming pool permit shall provide, before issuance, an agreement and cash bond for the purpose of insuring (a) that all sand, cement, dirt and any other debris is removed from streets, gutters, curbs, parkways, sidewalks and other public property; (b) that the public property shall be left in clean and undamaged condition, and (c) that adequate barricades have been installed and maintained. Said bond shall be in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for the construction of a swimming pool or other construction related thereto requiring the use of heavy equipment.

(2) Said agreement and bond may be reduced to not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) for the issuance of a spa, jacuzzi, and other small pool permit not intended for swimming, when in the determination of the Building Official the scope of the project will have a minimal impact on public improvements, by reason of not requiring the use of heavy construction equipment over curbs, sidewalks or public streets.

(c) Said bond shall terminate and be returnable to the applicant at the time and provided that (a) debris and other materials have been properly removed; (b) the public property has been left clean and undamaged, and (c) final inspection, approval and acceptance of the work and public property has been made by the Street Department.

(d) If the public property has not been left in a clean and undamaged condition and/or adequate barricades required by the City Engineer have not been installed and maintained, the City shall cause the necessary work to be done and shall deduct the cost thereof from the bond. (Ord. No. 770, Sec. 9)

The Building Official shall advise at permit issuance, and he shall enforce the requirement of this Section by stop order if necessary, the following:

Construction materials, debris, trash containers (dumpsters), and other non-vehicle materials shall not be deposited on public property without the written approval of the City Engineer and only under such conditions as he may impose. Any barricading required by the City Engineer shall be provided by the contractor at his expense. (Ord. No. 770, Sec. 9)
