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.

ENGINEERING PRODUCT MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS
The following list of items provides product material requirements for development projects in
the City of Scandia. The product material requirements have been established and adopted by the
City to provide consistency in the materials installed for rural and Village Core streets, storm
sewer, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and watermain. Material product requirements identify items
that are consistent with today’s engineering and construction practices, and provide for consistent
maintenance practices.
STREET GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
(1) Proposed streets shall conform to the state, county or local road plans or preliminary plans as have been prepared, adopted and/or filed.
(2) Private streets and reserve strips shall be prohibited and no public improvements shall be approved
for any private street. All streets shall be dedicated for public use.
(3) The arrangement, character, extent, width, and location of all streets shall be considered in relation
to existing and planned streets, shall provide for reasonable traffic circulation and traffic calming,
shall provide for reasonable mobility of pedestrians and non-motorized transportation, and shall be
appropriately located in relation to topography, run-off of storm water, convenience and safety,
and proposed uses of the land to be served. Access shall be given to all lots and portions of the
tract in the subdivision and to adjacent unsubdivided parcels unless the topography clearly
indicates that such connection is not feasible. Reserved strips and land-locked areas shall not be
created.
(4) Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, but may be subdivided, the arrangement of streets in a
new subdivision shall make provisions for the proper projection of streets into adjoining areas by
carrying the new streets to the boundaries of the new subdivision at appropriate locations. Streets
must be paved to the subdivision boundary except when this requirement is modified or waived by
the City Council for good cause shown.
(5) Local streets shall be designed and aligned to discourage their use by non-local traffic, to permit
efficient drainage, and to require the minimum number of streets necessary to provide convenient
and safe access to property.
(6) Neighborhoods shall be interconnected where possible to provide for emergency access,
convenience, dispersal and circulation of traffic and to foster community cohesiveness. Half or
partial streets will not be permitted, except where essential to reasonable subdivision of a tract in
conformance with the other requirements and standards of these regulations and where, in
addition, reasonable assurance for dedication of the remaining part of the street can be secured.
(7) Whenever a tract to be subdivided adjoins an existing half or partial street, the part of the street
within such tract shall be platted and dedicated if the dedication results in a reasonable subdivision
design for the area.
(8) Dead-end streets shall be prohibited except as stubs to permit future street extension into adjoining
tracts or when designed as cul-de-sac streets.
(9) The street arrangements shall not be such as to cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in
platting their own land and providing convenient access to it.

As-Built/Record Drawings:
After construction is completed, two printed sets of as-built construction record drawings are to
be prepared and provided to the City by the Developer. The final record drawings must also be
submitted in electronic format in accordance with the Plan Requirements. The record drawings
shall indicate all changes from the as-bid plans. The contractor and construction year shall also be
noted on the record plan drawings. The following are specific requirements for each element
constructed with the project.
Sanitary Sewer:
As-built elevations of the rim and invert of each structure must be surveyed. The elevations
shall be recorded and revised to the nearest 0.01’. If pipe elevations change more than 1 foot,
the changed portion of the profile should be redrawn. The percentage of grade between
manholes should be changed accordingly and recorded to the nearest 0.01%. Distance
between manholes should be changed on both the plan and profile. The distance shall be
measured from center of casting to the nearest 1’. Length of service risers shall be revised to
the nearest 1’.
Water Main:
Any change in elevation of more than 1-foot should be noted on the profile. Any change in
location of a main, hydrant, valve, etc. should be corrected on the plan as well as any
additions. Each gate valve must have two or more ties recorded on the record plan recorded to
the nearest 0.1’. The location of water main fittings shall be noted on the record plans. All top
of hydrant elevations shall be recorded to the nearest 0.01’. The manufacturer, type, size, and
class of piping, fittings, valves and boxes, brass, stop boxes shall be noted on the record
drawings.
Services:
Service wye locations accurate to the nearest foot. The end of the service must be located
with two or more ties. If a water service is installed in the same trench with the sanitary sewer
the ties should be to the curb box. Service ties shall be recorded to the nearest 0.1’. Ties to
drain tile service stub and clean-outs, recorded to the nearest 0.1’. Service invert elevations at
R/W line, recorded to the nearest 0.1’.

Storm Sewer:
As-built elevations of the rim and invert of each structure must be surveyed, which includes
storm sewer manhole and catch basin casting/inlet tops and inverts, flared end section inverts,
and any other structure elevations shown on the as-bid plan. The elevations shall be recorded
and revised to the nearest 0.01’. If pipe elevations change more than 1 foot, the changed
portion of the profile should be redrawn. The percentage of grade between structures shall be
changed accordingly and recorded to the nearest 0.01%. Any change in distance between
structures or changes in bends or aprons must be changed on the plan sheet and profile. The
distance shall be measured from center of casting/end section to the nearest 1’.
Streets:
Drawings should reflect any changes made. Any subgrade corrections that were made in
addition to what is noted in the construction documents shall be noted.
Special Structures:
Record plans on special structures such as lift stations, pump houses, treatment plans, etc.
should be include as-built elevations of critical piping, slabs, etc. as well as any changes
which may have occurred during construction.

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
homes in the subdivision are constructed, or for a period of two years after the placement of the
bituminous base course.
The bituminous wearing course is to be constructed after a minimum of one frost cycle season
and 75% of the homes are constructed, or three years after placement of the bituminous base
course.
