(A) Deposit in lieu of construction. Construction of required public right-of-way improvements shall be completed prior to the final inspection by the Director of Planning and Building of such construc-tion, erection, addition or alteration, unless, in lieu of such construction, the property owner elects to pay cash in the office of the City Treasurer in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the construction of the required improvements, as determined by the Director of Public Works. Furthermore, if the immediate installation of such improvements would not be in the best interests of the city, the Director of Public Works may require that a cash payment be made in lieu of construction. In the event a cash payment is made in lieu of construction, it shall be used by the city to do the required work, or construct public right-of-way improvements elsewhere in the city deemed to be of greater benefit to the general populace.
(B) Compliance. The Director of Planning and Building shall deny final approval and acceptance and shall refuse to allow final public utility connections to any building or structure which does not comply with the provisions of this section. It shall be the responsibility of the Director of Public Works to notify the Director of Planning and Building that the improvements required under the provisions of this chapter do not already exist or have not been con-structed and accepted by the Director of Public Works or that a cash payment has not been made in lieu of construction.
