§ 16.116.040. Dedication of public streets

A. Any person wishing to create a public street shall make written application to the Estacada city council. The application shall consist of a letter addressed to the council requesting acceptance of the dedication; a deed with exact description of the proposed dedication signed by all owners of the property being dedicated; and a map showing the proposed street and property intended to be served by the street. The Estacada city council shall refer the application to the following:

1. The city engineer and public works superintendent, who shall check the proposal for grade and conformance to acceptable street standards;

2. The county surveyor, who shall check the description for accuracy;

3. The county assessor's office, who shall insure that the taxes are paid on the property being dedicated; and

4. The city planner who shall ensure that the street is not in conflict with the city comprehensive plan or any adjacent approved tentative plans, plats or maps.

B. These reports shall be forwarded to the Estacada city council. If the city council approves the dedication, it shall accept the dedication by resolution of the council. The deed shall then be recorded.

C. A substandard developed street will not be maintained by the city unless that street is accepted for maintenance by the city council.
