1. All improvements shall be designed and installed so as to provide for a logical system of utilities, drainage and streets, and to create continuity of improvements for the development of adjacent properties.
2. The construction and installation of all improvements required by these regulations shall be completed within two years of the date of approval of the final plat by the Planning Commission, unless good cause can be shown for the granting of an extension of time by authority of the Planning Commission or the City Council.
3. All utility facilities, including, but not limited to, gas, electricity, telephone and CATV cables, shall be located 18 inches to 24 inches underground, per IRC E3803.1, within the subdivision. Wherever existing facilities are located above-ground, except where such facilities are located on public roads or rights-of-way, they shall be removed and placed underground. Underground service connections to the street property line of each platted lot shall be installed at the developer’s expense. At the discretion of the Planning Commission, the requirement for service connections to each lot may be waived in the case of adjoining lots to be retained in single ownership and intended to be developed for the same primary use. After installation of such lines, “as installed” diagrams shall be furnished by the installer to the City Clerk, drawn to scale and indicating the location of all lines.
4. In addition to the requirements established herein, all plats shall comply with the following laws, rules and regulations:
a. All applicable provisions of state statutes;
b. The official comprehensive plan, the adopted zoning ordinance, Building and Housing Codes and all other applicable laws of the city;
c. The special requirements of any rules and regulations of the State Department of Environmental Quality and/or other appropriate state agencies;
d. The rules and regulations of the State Department of Transportation, if the subdivision or any lot contained therein abuts a state highway or connecting street; and
e. All other applicable standards and regulations adopted by the City Council and all boards, commissions, agencies and officials of the city.
