System Development Charges (SDCs) are one-time fees based on the proposed new use or increase in use of a property. These charges apply to new construction and redevelopment of an existing use which may increase the impact to City infrastructure. SDC revenues may only be used for capital costs; they cannot be used for ongoing facility or system maintenance or for projects that either fix existing system deficiencies or replace existing capacity. Local governments must establish SDCs by ordinance or resolution and through a public process.
The table in the PDF below shows vacant commercial and industrial buildings in Sandy along with their associated ERUs. The ERUs are calculated based on the previous use of the property before it became vacant, and they indicate the size of wastewater system demand that can be accommodated at that site for a future business, under the terms of the City's consent decree with EPA and DEQ.
No. The planter strip by the sidewalk is the maintenance obligation of the property owner. It's the responsibility of the property owners to provide safe and unobstructed access along the sidewalk. Failure by the property owner to maintain the trees may result in a code enforcement issue.
No. The City will not remove a fallen tree, limb, or branch from a private owner's property or structures in most situations. The property owner is responsible for debris cleanup, tree removal, and repair of damaged structures.
No. The property owner is responsible. Property owners may legally prune encroaching tree limbs and branches back to their property line but cannot do so in such a way that will remove more than 25 percent of the tree canopy.
