(A) The subdivider shall be responsible for costs of installing water, gas and sewer lines, if provided, of adequate size to serve the development, but in no case shall there be less than a six-inch water line, an eight-inch sewer line and a two-inch gas line.
(B) All utilities shall meet the standards, ordinances and policies of each utility provider.
(C) All utility improvements shall meet or exceed the utility provider and city specifications. The subdivider of a subdivision within the city limits and within the city extraterritorial subdivision and zoning jurisdiction shall make necessary arrangements to serve each lot with adequate water and sewer service from the local water and sewer utility provider. Any individual or private systems installed in this area shall be illegal, and all development shall be connected to the local water and sewer utility provider’s system.
(D) The subdivider of subdivisions within the city limits and within the city extraterritorial subdivision and zoning jurisdiction shall be responsible for and shall coordinate with the local water utility provider for the installation of fire hydrants. Locations shall be approved primarily by the local water utility provider. The local water utility provider will then coordinate with the City Fire Department and the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(E) Subdivisions within the city limits and within the city extraterritorial subdivision and zoning jurisdiction shall have sewer lines connected to the sanitary sewer system of the local sewer utility provider. Sewer lines shall be accessible to each lot within the subdivision. Said sewer lines shall be constructed in accordance with the standards established by the local sewer utility provider and shall be subject to its approval and the approval of the city.
(F) The city will not approve density development greater than one unit per acre in an area which is flood prone or has a high water table unless it is connected to the local sewer utility provider’s sewage collection system.
(G) A storm drainage system adequate to serve the needs of the proposed new streets and the entire subdivision will be required in new subdivisions. Where an adequate public storm sewer main is available at the platted subdivision boundary, the subdivider shall construct a storm drainage system and connect with such storm sewer main of adequate size. Drainage improvements shall maintain any natural watercourse insofar as practical and shall prevent the collection of water in any low spot unless it is to be specified as a ponding area in the drainage plan. At a minimum, developers shall design and construct a drainage pond for the proposed subdivision to handle the water flow of the land being developed.
(H) The developer shall be required to install underground utilities in all new developments. New installations of overhead utility poles and lines will not be permitted. The use of existing overhead utility poles is permitted at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees.
(I) Subdivisions shall base all required utility lines on the maximum population density allowed by the zoning district in which the subdivision is located.
(J) The subdivider shall be responsible for all the costs associated with the extending of utilities, roadways or other necessary infrastructure from existing improved development to the site proposed for development according to the city’s capital improvement plan and master plan.
