DECORATIVE CONCRETE PAVERS IN ALLEYS
The City supports the beautification of public alleys by adjacent property owners. It is
the intent of this policy to allow property owners to contribute funds to enhance the
surface of alleys with decorative concrete pavers.
e1 tL MT. 11
A. Installation is permitted in residential and commercial alleys upon approval of
the Public Works Department. No person shall install decorative concrete pavers
without first obtaining an encroachment permit from the Public Works
Department.
B. Pavers must conform to City Standards and the color scheme must be approved
by the Public Works Department. Traditional colors (ex: concrete gray, brick red)
or blended color schemes are required.
C. The proponents of the decorative concrete pavers are responsible for the
installation costs or incremental upgrade costs if the City has previously
scheduled the alley for replacement.
D. Upon installation, the City will be responsible for maintenance of the concrete
pavers during the design life of the product (estimated at 20 years). During the
maintenance period, every effort shall be made to match shape and color of
replacement pavers. At such time the Public Works Director determines that the
concrete pavers have deteriorated to an unacceptable condition and /or suitable
replacements are unavailable, the proponents shall be given an opportunity to
replace said pavers or the Public Works Department shall have the option of
replacing the alley pavement with alternative standard materials.
PROCEDURE
A. Proponents must circulate a petition to adjacent owners of any block (s) where
decorative concrete pavers are desired. The petition shall include product
specifications, color palette, paver layout pattern, estimated project costs, and
expected contribution amounts. The petition must be previously approved by
the Public Works Department before circulation.
B. More than 60% of the adjacent property owners must support the installation.
However, the distribution of costs among the proponents may vary.
