7. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding:
a) Infrastructure Design and Construction Standards Amendments
Chapter 14 of the Fraser Town Code provides design and construction standards for
various public and private infrastructure and staff is proposing amendments. Staff
reviews the standards annually after each construction season and periodically proposes
amendments and/or updates as a result of changes to products, industry standard
practices, changing regulations, processes that may not have worked as initially
proposed, and input from the consulting, utility and development communities. Staff has
provided drafts of the proposed amendments to stakeholders in the development and
utility communities. This is a legislative process, accordingly in addition to Board
discussion, staff would encourage public comment.
WWC made the following recommendation to the Board to accept the changes as
proposed with the exception of item 6, regarding dead-end lines.
Dead-end lines are discouraged and will only be allowed with prior approval from the
Town. In mountainous areas dead -ends shall be minimized by making appropriate tie-ins
(looped lines) whenever practical, in order to provide increased reliability of service,
reduction of head loss and maximization of residual chlorine levels within the system. The
maximum length of any dead-end line shall not exceed five hundred (500) feet in length.
Any dead-end line approved shall have a blow -off device installed at the end of the line;
as a minimum this device shall be a fire hydrant assembly.
The Infrastructure Design and Construction Standards Amendments will be on the
Planning Commission's agenda on January 28, 2015, then will be brought back to the
Board for further action.
