There have been people parking or partially parking vehicles on sidewalks. SUGAR CITY CODE 5-2-6 PROBHITED PARKING, states in part that no person shall park on a sidewalk area. This also includes sidewalk areas in front of driveways. To avoid city citations, please see that all sidewalk areas are clear and handicap accessible. No part of a car should be on a sidewalk. Other items making it difficult for wheelchair access should also be removed from sidewalks. Please review the city’s Parking Ordinance for further information.
MAILBOXES – NEW OR REPLACEMENTS:
Mailboxes are not allowed on sidewalks. If you are replacing mailboxes and posts this summer please be aware of the postal code for dimensions and proper placement of posts and mailboxes. If you have questions on replacing a mailbox that is currently in a sidewalk please call our Public Works Dept. for more information. This will also help our public works department when it comes time for snow removal. Proper height and distance from road will help eliminate the possibility for a snowplow coming in contact with your mailbox. Go to https://www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm for more information and a diagram. The best mailbox supports are stable but bend or fall away if a car hits them.
The Federal Highway Administration recommends:
A 4″ x 4″ wooden support or a 2″-diameter standard steel or aluminum pipe.
Avoid unyielding and potentially dangerous supports, like heavy metal pipes, concrete posts, and farm equipment (e.g., milk cans filled with concrete).
Bury your post no more than 24” deep.
Position your mailbox 41” to 45″ from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry.
Place your mailbox 6″ to 8″ back from the curb. If you do not have a raised curb, contact your local postmaster for guidance. FENCE PERMITS ARE REQUIRED: If you are putting in a new fence this year, remember to come into city hall and fill out a fence permit. There is no fee unless the fence is taller than six feet.
SPRINKLER SYSTEMS: Backflow preventers are required on all sprinkler systems. If you didn’t have a test on your sprinkler system backflow preventer done last year, please have one done this year and return your report to City Hall or email it to ajacobson@sugarcityidaho.gov. This is necessary to ensure that contamination of the water supply will not happen in the event of a pressure loss to the water system. Thank you to those that have already brought in test results. Odd numbered addresses are to be tested in odd numbered years and even numbered addresses are to be tested in even numbered years. If you have an odd numbered address and did not test last year, those need to be tested this year also. Thank you for your cooperation!
