(a) Where Council has approved a general street plan of an area proposed for allotting and the allotter chooses to improve and plat the area in more than one subdivision and where the street plan contains a proposed through street or main thoroughfare or where certain streets are planned to contain certain main utility lines or where the dedication of streets is necessary for the proper planning of streets in the adjacent areas, then all of such streets in proposed allotments, which are important to the general interest and development of the City, shall be dedicated to public use prior to the acceptance by Council of the first subdivision in the proposed allotment.
The streets may be dedicated on a plat with a minimum scale of one inch equals 100 feet showing streets only, with the exception that such plat should contain the dedication of any proposed park if outside of the first subdivision. The dedication clause on such street dedication plat shall contain an agreement on the part of the allotter, that the allotter will not subdivide for sale any of the land outside of the first subdivision without an approved subdivision plat dividing the land into lots, blocks or parcels.
The requirement for street improvements as contained herein will apply to each of the various subdivisions only as they are submitted for approval and acceptance by Council.
(b) Where a subdivision is proposed to contain private streets, the following shall apply:
(1) All private streets shall be constructed and improved in the same manner as for public dedicated streets and shall be designed and laid out in accordance with these regulations and all specifications and standards of the City.
(2) The design and layout of private streets shall be such as to be self-contained and provide for the circulation of traffic solely within the proposed subdivision.
(3) Council and the Planning Commission shall not approve a plat of a subdivision containing private streets unless the allotter has made provision for the incorporation of a property or land owners's association and/or deed covenants or restrictions to provide for the maintenance of the street system, drainage facilities, sanitary facilities or easements, utilities and provision for the adequate protection of the property owners through contractual services for water supply, fire and police protection, refuse collection and other services where required by Council or the Planning Commission.
Where it is determined by Council that certain contractual services cannot be obtained, the allotter shall, at his own expense, provide for such services as Council deems necessary for the health, safety and general welfare of the property owners abutting said private street.
(4) The developer of a subdivision, in which the streets are not dedicated to public use, shall so indicate on the plat where required statements or signatures are affixed. (Ord. 186-85. Passed 12-16-85.)
