Part 2 - Public Works Department Restoring the Right-of-Way
A right-of-way (RW) includes both the paved areas of streets as well as swale and drainage areas (typically sodded) along the edges of the road. Utilities are also located within the right-of-way (water, sewer, and electricity). Maintaining the right-of-way is important for the city to be able to provide and restore these services to residents. • Public right-of-way must be a sodded swale. No vegetation planting other than sod is allowed in the right-of-way. • Placement of fill in the right-of-way is not allowed without a right-of-way modification permit from Public Works. Swale elevations will be set by Public Works staff and must follow the Typical Swale Section exhibit – see below. Deviations from the typical swale must be approved by Public Works through the right-of-way permitting process. • Driveway/culvert modification in the right-of-way will require a Public Works Driveway permit. • Ground covers, other than sod, are not allowed in the right-of-way. No mulch or gravel is allowed. • No obstructions are allowed in the right-of-way, including irrigation, decorative rocks, or fencing.
