THEREFORE, the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah

this Zoning Ordinance after. January 1, 1997, shall include
provisions for disclosure of future private infrastructure
maintenance and placement costs to unit owners.
1. Infrastructure Maintenance Estimates. Using
generally accepted accounting principles, the
developer of any Planned Development shall
calculate an initial estimate of the costs for
maintenance and capital improvements of all
infrastructure for the Planned Development
including roads, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, water
and sewer pipes and related facilities, drainage
systems, landscaped or paved common areas and
other similar facilities ("Infrastructure"), for a
period of sixty (60) years following the recording
of the subdivision plat for the estimated date of
first unit occupancy of the planned development,
whichever is later.
2. Initial Estimate Disclosure. The following
measures shall be incorporated in Planned
Developments to assure that owners and future
owners have received adequate disclosure of
potential Infrastructure maintenance and
replacement costs:
a. The cost estimate shall be recorded with and
referenced on the recorded plat for any
2
Planned Development. The initial disclosure
estimate shall cover all private
Infrastructure items and shall be prepared
for six increments of 10 years each.
b. The recorded plat shall also contain a
statement entitled "Notice to Purchasers"
disclosing that the Infrastructure is
privately owned and that the maintenance,
repair, replacement and operation of the
Infrastructure is the responsibility of the
property owners and will not be assumed by
the City.
c. The cost estimate shall be specifically and
separately disclosed to the purchaser of any
property in the Planned Development, upon
initial purchase and also upon all future
purchases for the duration of the sixty (60)
year period.
3. Yearly Maintenance Statements. The entity
responsible for the operation and maintenance of
the Infrastructure shall, at least once each
calendar year, notify all property owners in the
3
Planned Development of the estimated yearly
expenditures for maintenance, repair, operation or
replacement of Infrastructure, and at least once
each calendar year shall notify all property
owners of the actual expenditures incurred, and
shall specify the reason(s) for any variance
between the estimated expenditures and the actual
expenditures.
4. Maintenance Responsibilities. The property owners
in a Planned Development shall be collectively and
individually responsible, on a pro-rata basis, for
operating, maintaining, repairing and replacing
Infrastructure to the extent necessary to ensure
that access to the Planned Development is
available to the City for emergency and other
services and to ensure that the condition of the
private Infrastructure allows for the City's
continued and uninterrupted operation of public
facilities to which the private Infrastructure may
be connected or to which it may be adjacent.

become effective on the date of its first publication.
