Pathways
A separate plan and profile view shall be provided for each pedestrian pathway or
multi-use trail. Pedestrian pathways and multi-use trails shall be hard surface,
unless they are in a Natural Resource Area. Pedestrian pathways and multi-use
trails shall be designed in accordance with the City’s Trail Development Handbook
and City’s Standard Drawing 400.
Mt. Scott/Scouters Mountain (MSSM) Regional Trail
The Mount Scott/Scouters Mountain (MSSM) Trail Loop is planned to be a non-
motorized, multi-use trail system that will link numerous schools, parks, local trails
and businesses in the Clackamas County, Happy Valley and southern Portland area.
A link to the final trail alignment can be found on the City’s website. Due to
topographic constraints, achieving ADA accessibility throughout the system may
not be feasible in many locations. The multi-use trail within the City of Happy
Valley shall be hard-surfaced, 10’-12’ wide, and designed in accordance with City’s
Standard Drawing 400. Bridges shall be 8’ wide and designed by a professional
engineer registered in the State of Oregon.

SITE GRADING
Site Grading Plan
A Site Grading Plan is required for any project that involves moving 1000 cubic
yards or more of material. Existing and proposed grading contours shall be shown
at a minimum of 2-foot intervals and shall extend a minimum of 200 feet off-site.
The grading plan shall be prepared from recent ground surveys and shall show all
existing and proposed surface drainage conveyances, natural resource sensitive
areas, storm drainage collection structures, and all storm drainage outfalls. The
grading plan shall note the source of the survey information, date of the field work,
and the location of the original survey documents.
The limits of the proposed grading shall be clearly delineated on the grading plan.
The grading plan shall require the installation of orange construction fencing at the
grading limits. The grading plan shall be designed in conformance with the
Municipal Code Section 16.42.050 Tree cutting and preservation.
Setbacks from the development property line for the top of a cut slope or the toe
of a fill slope shall be in accordance with Municipal Code Section 15.12.100 -
Setbacks. Terracing for cut or fill slopes shall be in accordance with Municipal Code
Section 15.12.110 Drainage and terracing. Grading plans for areas where grading
will be within 10 feet or less of the development property line shall include cross
sections every 50 feet as necessary, with a minimum of three cross sections. These
cross sections shall extend a minimum of 50 feet each side of the property line and
shall show proposed and existing grades, structures and utility facilities.
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
An Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plan is required for all projects that require
a Site Grading Plan. The ESC Plan shall have all information noted in the previous
section for the Site Grading Plan, as well as ESC measures for all necessary phases
of construction. The City of Happy Valley has adopted the use of the latest Erosion
Prevention and Sediment Control Manual from Clackamas County, Water
Environment Services (WES) for assistance in determining the best management
practices (BMP’s) for the site.
Chapter 2 Page 9
Revised April 2019
The goal of the ESC Plan is to keep all sediment on the site. Preserving the natural
vegetation as an erosion control method in addition to other BMP’s is encouraged.
Vegetated cover shall be maintained on slopes and/or reinforced through new
plantings for stability and erosion control purposes. Vegetation shall not be
stripped from any area outside of the grading limits.
Note: Experience has shown that once the fine clayey soils in the Happy Valley
area become waterborne, they are not easily separated from water. Mechanical
systems, such as Baker Tanks, are the most effective means of filtration for these
soil types.
The ESC Plan shall include all construction drawing information required by the
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) NPDES 1200C permit. A site-
specific drainage plan for the temporary collection and treatment of surface water
and ground water during the construction phase shall be included in the ESC plan.
Cement-Amended Action Plan
When a contractor or developer requests to use Cement-Treated Base (CTB) or
Cement-Amended Soils on a project, they will be required to provide the City with
a stormwater monitoring action plan for City review. If the Cement-Amending is
proposed for use, the project geotechnical engineer shall be on site while the work
is underway; inspecting the work and providing recommendations for the amount
and depth of the cement or lime amendment.
Stormwater run-off over areas where Cement-Amending has recently been placed
is much more likely to have increased pH levels, which poses an environmental risk
to the surrounding ecosystems. To alleviate these concerns, the City of Happy
Valley is requiring that an action plan be developed and appropriate erosion and
sediment control (ESC) Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented prior to
Cement-Amending on-site.
The action plan shall show how the permittee will ensure that stormwater
discharge does not impact the adjacent environment. Off-site stormwater
discharge must meet the following Water Quality standards:
Turbidity: Below 10% above background turbidity, per DEQ
pH: Between 6.5 and 8.5
Chapter 2 Page 10
Revised April 2019
Testing for these parameters must occur at minimum once a day during active
stormwater discharge from the site until such time as the Cement-Amending has
cured. All testing records and results shall be submitted to the City of Happy Valley
on a weekly basis.
The submitted Action Plan shall have the following components:
i. Sequencing Plan showing the approximate date(s) each area of the site will
be cement-treated. This can be either in Excel format or visually represented
on the site plan.
ii. Flow Control Plan demonstrating the flow path of run-off from Cement-
Amended areas.
iii. Testing Plan to test collected storm water run-off from Cement-Amended
areas, including testing schedule and testing location(s).
iv. Treatment Schedule to treat collected storm water run-off from Cement-
Amended areas that do not meet the above Water Quality standards.
v. Discharge Plan
a. Plan to dispose of storm run-off not meeting Water Quality standards,
or
b. Plan to discharge storm run-off meeting Water Quality standards post-
treatment.
The action plan must be submitted for review and approval prior to using Cement-
Amendments onsite. Failure to notify the City prior to Cement-Amending will be
considered a violation of the City’s permits and could result in Enforcement Action
being taken.
Record the location of Cement-Amended Base or Cement-Amended Soils within
the project. These locations shall be included in the project As-built Construction
Plans.
Tree Cutting and Preservation
Provide a Tree Removal and Protection Plan in accordance with Municipal Code
Section 16.42.050 Tree cutting and preservation. The purpose of this code is to
regulate the removal and preservation of trees, to protect trees as a natural
resource of the City, and to allow the prudent management of trees by individual
Chapter 2 Page 11
Revised April 2019
property owners and developers. A Type B Application is required when trees are
to be removed in conjunction with a subdivision, PUD, land partition or
nonresidential construction project.
Attention is called to the tree survey requirements noted in Municipal Code
Subsection 16.42.050.D.2.a. The tree survey is to be prepared by a certified
arborist, or other qualified landscape specialist as approved by the City. The tree
survey shall describe the size, species, health and condition of the trees on-site and
shall include a map that locates trees on the property. Drainageways, wetlands
and surface water features shall also be identified on the map. Tree removal in
conjunction with a subdivision, PUD, land partition or nonresidential construction
project is not allowed in open space tracts as noted in Municipal Code Subsection
16.42.050.E.2.a.
The Tree Removal and Protection Plan shall identify each tree to be removed,
protective fencing around trees or vegetation to be protected, and shall map
proposed mitigation and erosion control measures. The plan shall also include the
existing and proposed grades on the site.
Tree removal will need to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). A
pre-construction migratory bird nest survey will need to be completed prior to tree
removal that will occur within the nesting season (February 1
st
through July 31
st
).
The survey is intended to avoid occupied migratory bird nest destruction. The
MBTA protects occupied migratory bird nests (with birds or eggs) from being
destroyed.
Geotechnical Report
Many development sites in Happy Valley are on slopes, therefore a Geotechnical
Report by a licensed registered engineer shall be included with the initial submittal
of the construction plans. The Geotechnical Report shall include and make
recommendations on the following items:
i. Statement of understanding about the site development proposal.
ii. Site Preparation clearing of vegetation and organic debris, removal of
existing subsurface structures, depth of over-excavation, and critical points
where inspection by the geotechnical engineer is required.
Chapter 2 Page 12
Revised April 2019
iii. Engineered Fills, Grading and Slope Steepnesspreparation of existing
ground prior to placing fill, benching and fill slope keyway requirements, sub-
drain installations, compaction requirements for engineered fills, suitable fill
materials, lift thickness, moisture content, finish fill and cut slope steepness,
finishing of slope face, placement of topsoil on slopes, frequency of
inspection and testing by the geotechnical engineer.
iv. Wet Weather Earthwork imported fill materials for work in wet weather,
on-site treatment of existing soils for use in fill construction, limiting work
areas during wet weather, sealing ground surface to limit moisture exposure,
and frequency of observation of excavation and fill placement by
geotechnical engineer.
v. Excavating Conditions and Utility Trenches shoring or side slope needs for
excavations, backfill lift thicknesses, and frequency of inspection and testing
by the geotechnical engineer.
vi. Erosion Control Considerations observation of soil types and their erosion
potential, recommended methods to minimize erosion during construction.
vii. Foundations recommendations for specific lots, groundwater
recommendations for specific lots, footing and wall drain recommendations,
and seismic design recommendations.
Native Vegetation Report
A Native Vegetation Report may be required in areas where existing vegetation is
proposed to be removed by development. The report shall be prepared in
accordance with Municipal Code Subsection 16.42.070.B.2.c.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls greater than four feet in height shall have a professional engineer
or geotechnical engineer registered in the State of Oregon provide stamped design
calculations and detail drawings required for the retaining wall construction.
Municipal Code Section 16.42.60.C.6 notes that wall height shall be measured from
the “lowest adjoining finished grade” to the top of the wall.
The wall design shall take into consideration the proposed grading in front of the
wall, the proposed slope behind the wall, the wall drainage system, and the
required setbacks for any proposed structures near the wall.
Chapter 2 Page 13
Revised April 2019
Retaining wall detail drawings shall be provided in the construction plan set and
shall include at a minimum; wall profile, the degree of wall batter, wall cross
section at the highest point of the wall, wall reinforcing geotextile requirements,
wall drainage systems, and wall backfill requirements.
Refer to Municipal Code Sections 16.42.060.D and 16.50.100 regarding retaining
wall design requirements, setbacks, screening and terracing. When a retaining wall
crosses multiple lots, a wall easement or maintenance agreement recorded against
the impacted lots will be required. Retaining wall maintenance is the responsibility
of the Home Owners Association (HOA).
Fences may be required on walls 30” or higher. Fencing shall be black, vinyl-coated
chain link or stained cedar.
Lot Drainage Design
Weep holes through the curb are not allowed in the City of Happy Valley.
For those lots that are located on the downhill side of the street, care must be
taken with the design of the storm sewer system. If the roof and foundation drain
for the proposed structure cannot be taken by gravity to the storm sewer system in
the street, an additional storm system shall be placed at the rear of the lots to
catch this storm water. The storm system at the back of the lots shall be placed in
an easement in accordance with Water Environment Services requirements.
It may be necessary to install french drains along the development boundaries to
protect the downhill properties from surface water impacts caused by the
development improvements.
UTILITY INSTALLATIONS
a. All public utilities associated with or adjacent to a subdivision, PUD, multi-family,
land partition, road improvement or nonresidential construction project, shall be
placed underground. Franchise utility construction is included in the Right-of-
Way Permit for these projects. The Owner, or the Owner’s representative, is
responsible for coordinating with the individual utilities and for constructing
improvements per the approved construction plans.
Chapter 2 Page 14
Revised April 2019
b. Utility lines, vaults and pedestals shall be placed in the 8’ Public Utility Easement
(PUE) behind the right-of-way and shall be joint trench whenever possible. An
approved right-of-way permit is required for all installations.
c. On all phased (interim) road improvements, the necessary utilities shall be
stubbed across the interim improvement to assure street cuts are not necessary
when the road is expanded to its full width.
d. Underground utilities being constructed along existing paved streets shall not be
located under the existing pavement unless approved by the City Engineer.
e. The minimum depth of utilities on improved roads shall be thirty (30) inches as
measured from finished grade to top of utility. On unimproved roads, the
minimum depth shall be forty (40) inches.
f. Service crossings shall maintain the same depth as the main pipeline or buried
cable to a point two feet behind the curb or center of the road or ditch. In no
case shall there be less than one foot of cover from the bottom of the curb or
ditch to the top of the service line.
g. Utility maintenance work or new facility installations that will be installed under
the pavement in existing rights-of-way must be bored rather than open cut.
Utility vaults shall be placed outside of the pavement limits.
h. Street crossings shall be installed at a 90-degree angle to the public right-of-way.
i. Any bore pits that are required in the pavement for connection purposes must be
T-cut in accordance with the City’s Standard Drawing 200.
j. All excavations within the public right-of-way shall be backfilled with crushed
rock in accordance with the City’s Standard Drawing 205, with the exception of
excavations in collector or arterial facilities, which shall be backfilled with Control
Density Fill (CDF) in accordance with the City’s Standard Drawing 210.
k. Temporary trench patches shall be made using hot mix asphalt.
l. Steel plates will not be allowed to cover excavations in the traveled way during
the months of January through April, November and December. All excavations
during these restricted months shall be backfilled and patched temporarily with
hot mix asphalt until the final pavement restoration occurs.
Chapter 2 Page 15
Revised April 2019
m. The extent of the pavement repair shall be determined by the City Engineer on a
case by case basis. For example, if the utility excavation is within 3 feet of the
existing edge of pavement or within 5 feet of an existing trench patch, the
pavement removal and replacement will need to be extended to include these
areas. Adjacent areas of existing pavement distress will also need to be removed
and replaced as determined by the City Engineer.
n. If utility work requires the removal of an existing sidewalk or driveway, the
affected concrete panels will need to be replaced in their entirety.
o. Utility work is not allowed on weekends. In the event of an emergency, a testing
firm must be present during backfilling operations to confirm that compaction of
the backfill was performed in accordance with City specifications.
SURVEY
