Because of the variety of circumstances under which a request for sewer or water extension may be generated, no single method can be enunciated under which an original or initial developer may be able to allocate or recover expenses directly related to the City requirement for additional depth or pipe size over than needed only for, and within, his individual development. In general, four methods may be considered:
(a) The developer may obtain an agreement from the affected, adjoining and/or nearby property owners for the sharing of this additional cost; or
(b) The developer may absorb these costs in his overall cost of development in the interest of being able to proceed without the delays inherent in subsection (a) hereof;
(c) Where a principal lateral is involved, the developer may approach the City to require that such other property owners as would be affected and who require a tap within a twenty year period be required to pay their fair share of the differential cost of the sewer line at the time of such tap, and that within such twenty year period this amount be returned to the developer who installed the sewer; and
(Res. 8-69-R. Passed 2-9-70.)
(d) Where a principal water or sewer trunk line is involved the City will pay the developer the difference in cost of pipe and necessary material for the increased size requirement requested by the City, provided that the developer at his cost install such pipe and material at the proper depth necessary for a proper connection to existing trunk lines.
