geotextile fabric and 12" of select granular borrow.
• The one access per Residential Property has been revised to allow a second access with City
approval.
• Added that cluster mailboxes need to be approved by the postmaster.
• A paragraph has been added to require private utility street crossings inside of conduits installed
during street construction.
• A paragraph has been added in the Storm Sewer Design Requirements to note all storm sewer is
to be designed to Atlas 14 Intensity -Duration -Frequency (IDF) curves for Washington County.
• Sumps in storm sewer catch basins and manholes changed from 2' to 4'.
• The As-Built/Record Plan Drawing has been updated to the current engineering standards for
collection and submittal of record plan drawings.
Project Plan Requirements
Inserted a sentence in the Street Lighting portion to require the use of LEDs to illuminate the
street lighting.
Issuance of Building Permits
• The bituminous wearing course construction has changed from 2 years after placement of base
course to 3 years.
If the City Council finds these updates standards acceptable, we recommend the City Council formally
adopt the 2019 Engineering Standards and Detail Specifications. If there are any questions please feel

PURPOSE
This document establishes engineering standards and detail specifications for public and
private improvements in new subdivisions within the City of Scandia. It has been
adopted by reference in Ordinance No. 128 adopting Chapter 3 (Subdivision Regulations)
of the City of Scandia Development Code.
The standards of this document supplement the Minimum Design Standards contained in
the Subdivision Regulations. Adherence to these standards will help assure that new
subdivisions will contribute toward and attractive orderly, stable a livable and safe
community. Compliance will help assure the quality of design and construction of new
streets, utilities and other infrastructure in the city of Scandia, and help prevent future
problems and unnecessary maintenance expense in the future.
These guidelines will be updated from time to time to reflect new materials and
practices, subject to approval by the City Council.

ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS
*Building Permits, in a platted subdivision, will not be issued until the public improvements are
completed, including public sanitary sewer, water main, services, private utilities (gas, electric,
telephone, and cable television), concrete curb and gutter, aggregate base, bituminous base, and
storm water management basins are constructed, street signs installed, and street lights installed.
*Building permits will not be issued until the developer has installed silt fence along the back of
curb on all streets and along the back property lines for all lots. Side lot line silt fence is required
adjacent to lots that have been finished graded, and have established turf.
*The individual builders shall maintain silt fence throughout home/building construction.
*Street sweeping is to be performed on a weekly basis, at the developer's cost, until 75% of the
