a.
Sprinkler systems: A petition is not required when placing, at or below grade, a sprinkler system only. This agreement will suffice without the petition.
b.
Yard debris pads: A petition is not required for the installation of a yard debris pad, and applications should be made on a separate form developed by the Building Commissioner for that purpose. This agreement will not be required for yard debris pads; however, they must meet the following requirements:
i.
Acceptable materials for yard debris pads include concrete, properly bedded pavers or brick, or approved equals. (The approval of other materials shall be at the discretion of the Director of Public Works, based on compatibility with city yard debris collection equipment and methods.) All concrete work requires separate form and final inspections, and shall provide a minimum concrete thickness of 4 inches.
ii.
Any yard debris pad must be constructed at grade, i.e., it may not be an elevated pad. Allowable dimensions are a maximum depth of 5’ (measured perpendicular to the street) and a maximum width of 5’ or 1/10th of the property’s street frontage, whichever is greater.
iii.
Yard debris pads must be situated at or within 2’ behind the curb (or street edge, if no curb is present). The location must be at least 3’ away from any visible utility infrastructure, including but not limited to curb stop water valves, fire hydrants, utility poles, and utility pedestals. Yard debris pads may not abut a service walk if the effect is to expand the service walk beyond dimensions permitted by the Oakwood Zoning Ordinance.
iv.
The applicant must agree to the representations set forth in Council’s right-of-way obstruction policy as to maintenance, assessment of costs, liability, removal, and indemnification, although the requirement to produce recordable documents shall be waived. In developing a form for yard debris pad applications, the Building Commissioner may summarize or restate the representations in whatever format is convenient for that purpose.
3.
Plot plan requirement: A plot plan indicating what you plan to erect must be submitted with this agreement showing location from the paved portion of the street; distance from the right-of-way line; location of your residence: and a plan view of your improvement. The plot plan must be to scale and will become part of this agreement.
4.
If installation of an obstruction in the right-of-way would enclose or tend to enclose a portion of a right-of-way within your lot, your signature(s) below is/are your agreement and representation that neither you nor your heirs or assigns will claim adverse possession of said land at a later date.
5.
The Owners’ signature(s) below is/are your further agreement and representation, on behalf of you as the current Owners and your heirs or assigns, that:
