(a) Oversize or off-site extensions of utilities, pavement and other improvements shall be designed and constructed to facilitate the orderly development of that nearby land which is an integral part of the neighborhood service or drainage area. Where the City Engineer determines that improvements in excess of the size needed to serve the proposed subdivision are necessary, the subdivider shall install all improvements required to serve such subdivision plus the additional oversize or off-site improvements. The sub divider may contract with adjacent property owners or subdividers of adjacent land for reimbursement of the cost of such required oversize or off-site improvements. Such improvements shall be available for connections by individual property owners or subdividers of adjoining land.
(b) When streets or utilities are not available at the boundary of a proposed sub division, the Planning Commission may require, as a condition precedent to approval of the preliminary plan and final plat, assurances that such improvement extensions shall be provided as follows:
(1) Extensions of utilities onto the property involved shall be adequate to serve the total development requirements of the drainage area. Utilities leading away from the property shall be constructed in such a manner as to make their extension practical for servicing the adjacent and downstream areas of the drainage district.
(2) If the Commission finds that extensions across undeveloped areas would not be warranted as a special assessment to the intervening properties or as a governmental expense until some future time, the developer may be required, if he wishes to proceed with the development, to obtain the necessary easements or rights of way and construct and pay for such extensions. Such improvements shall be available for connections by developers of adjoining land.
