A. Responsibility for Transportation Improvements. The subdivider or developer is responsible for all design, engineering, labor, and construction expenses for transportation related improvements required by:
1. Title 12, as a requirement of the subdivision process, including the City Engineering Design Criteria.
2. The recommendations of the major street and highway plan and any other regional transportation plans.
3. The need for transportation improvements resulting from a site plan or any other development process described in Title 11.
B. Limitation. The subdivider or developer is not responsible for improvements to the extent that this Subchapter specifically requires full or partial payment for transportation improvements by the City.
C. Transportation Improvements Required. Except where limited in this Subchapter, the subdivider or developer is responsible for:
1. Providing public streets, sidewalks, and, when applicable, trails, that comply with all City Engineering Design Criteria and requirements.
2. Extending and connecting existing public streets, sidewalks, and, where applicable, trails, with existing or proposed streets, sidewalks, and trails.
3. Providing all necessary property interests, including rights-of-way, and where necessary, easements, for proposed public streets, sidewalks, and trails.
4. Providing reports and inspection results showing that proposed public streets, sidewalks, and trails will be, and were, constructed in accordance with all City Engineering Design Criteria and requirements.
5. Providing the expansion or extension of public streets, sidewalks, and trails, as shown on approved City plans, particularly the major street and highway plan, and regional transportation plans, to serve future development.
6. Providing for the initial operation, maintenance, and warranty of public streets, sidewalks, and trails.
7. Providing fiscal security required to warranty the construction of the public streets, sidewalks, and trails.
8. Complying with all requirements of the utility providers, including the City, with respect to utilities located adjacent to, or within, the public right-of-way.
D. No Other Dedication or Construction Required. Nothing in this Subchapter is construed to require any dedication or construction that is not explicitly required by the standards of this Title or the City Engineering Design Criteria, the major street and highway plan, or any regional transportation plans.
E. Off-Site/Perimeter Road Improvements.
1. When a subdivision or development is proposed to be located adjacent to, or served by, a street that does not meet the minimum standards of the City for roadway construction, pavement design, pavement width, street drainage, or right-of-way width:
a. The subdivider or developer shall provide improvements to the substandard street or intersections, as necessary to mitigate traffic impacts generated by the subdivision or proposed development, as set out in Section 12-4-3, Street Improvements Required. Required street improvements shall be established through the completion of a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) that meets the minimum standards specified in Section 12-4-4, Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).
b. The City may, at its discretion, participate in the costs to oversize improvements by executing a Privately Financed Public Improvements (PFPI) agreement with the subdivider or developer.
2. Where a subdivision is adjacent to or served by an Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) highway, the City, in collaboration with ODOT, shall make a determination whether developer participation in the “fair share” cost of any improvements, or if the dedication of right-of-way or any other improvements, such as, but not limited to, drainage or utility relocation, is required.
