In connection with review of any proposed plans or specifications above described by the designated municipal officials, the following shall be determined:
(a) That the size, location and design of the pipes, pumps, lift stations or piping intended to serve the area shall be sufficient to insure adequate flow and pressure, based upon the size, height and density of the subject development. In addition, it shall be affirmatively determined that the off-site utilities are sized to comply with the Master Comprehensive Utilities Plan of the city; provided, however, that if said compliance requires any oversizing of the pipes or piping necessary to serve the subject development, the developer (or developers) by joint written agreement with the City shall finance the needed areas' off-site utilities to a capacity necessary to serve the property of the developer (or developers) in accord with the master plan and; any oversizing of said off-site utilities constructed in accord with the master plan shall be initially financed by the developer (or developers) unless, in response to the developer's request, the city council agrees to fund the oversizing costs in an amount equal to the oversizing costs plus fifteen (15) percent administrative cost to be paid by the developer (or developers); additionally provided that the owner may pay the costs of such oversizing with such costs to be accounted as a credit against the owner's capital facilities charge pursuant to section 30B-4(G) hereof. In addition, the proposed system shall provide adequate fire prevention needs and adequate safeguards in the proposed system to provide emergency service in the event of accidental breakage and loss of pressure within said system as determined by the city.
(b) That the proposed water system contains sufficient provision for fire hydrants with relation to distance between said hydrants and proximity to structures within the proposed development. Further, that said hydrants will be located at points within the proposed development to enable ready and direct access by mechanical apparatus of the municipal fire department or if within the county, the appropriate fire district.
(c) The size, type, number and method of installation of any water meter or meters proposed to be installed or added to the municipal water utility system in connection with any building project as hereinabove described, shall be determined and approved prior to installation thereof by the municipal utilities director. In addition, all required water meters serving the proposed development shall be placed at locations which will enable municipal personnel to efficiently service and read said meters and developer shall grant permission and legal authority to the city for the purpose of city personnel having access to said meters.
(d) It is not the intent of this chapter to guarantee, for an extended period of time, adequate capacity to serve the developer's (or developers') property, however, the written agreement to be executed with the city will state the time period of the guarantee. The capital facility charge will remain as it is at the time of the execution of this agreement during the time period of the guarantee and will thereafter be as from time to time amended.
(e) The capital facility charge credits will be separately accounted for in either the water portion or the sewer portion of the city's utility fund, and will not be interchangeably used toward the other's obligation.
