1. The installation of new Public Frontage Improvements per the City of Bothell Design and Construction Standards and Specifications is required as specified in BMC 12.64.100 District Requirements along all parcel frontages, except where the public frontage area already contains the features required. In instances where existing public frontage areas already contain features that are sufficiently similar to those required, all or part of the Public Frontage Improvements may be waived by the Public Works Director/Designee.

2. In instances where new streets must be constructed – that is, in instances where there are no existing public frontage conditions – the public frontage will be installed as part of the applicable street types defined BMC 12.64.301 Street Regulations.

3. Locating Back-of-Sidewalk. The location of the back of the newly installed sidewalk (the back of the sidewalk is furthest from the curb) is determined by adding up the cross-section dimensions of the required Public Frontage Improvements in-board of the future face-of-curb. The exact location of the new back-of-sidewalk may or may not coincide with the front property line. As a result, newly installed required Public Frontage improvements may be partially located on private property.

4. In instances where installation of required public frontage improvements as part of on-site construction are found to be impractical - for example in instances where curb relocation is required or the private frontage is particularly narrow or fragmented, the property owner may pay an in-lieu fee covering the construction cost to install the required improvements when they can be combined with those on adjacent properties or as part of a city-sponsored street improvement program.

5. In instances where the City of Bothell has preceded the proposed new development with the installation of the required public frontage improvements, the property owner shall reimburse the city for the costs of that portion of the installation along the length of the private property. The amount of an in-lieu fee, when approved, shall be determined by the Community Development Director/Designee.
