(A) Petition.
(1) In lieu of doing the actual construction work on improvements required to be made by the subdivider under this subchapter, the subdivider may petition the city to do the construction work required.
(2) The petition shall include a request that the benefited property be assessed for the cost of the improvements where appropriate.
(3) The petition shall be presented to the city by September 1 for construction during the next season.
(4) The option shall apply to streets, alleys, curb and gutters, water and sanitary sewer facilities.
(5) In no event shall the construction result in a cost to be borne by the taxpayers of the city generally, except in those cases where part of the benefit of the construction is deemed by the City Council to extend beyond the properties contained in the proposed subdivision.
(B) Payment for installation of improvements.
(1) Improvements required by this subchapter are to be furnished and installed at the sole expense of the subdivider and at no expense to the city, unless otherwise stated.
(2) In the case of an improvement the cost of which would, by general policy of the Council, be assessed only in part to the improved property and the remaining cost paid out of the general tax levy, the Council may make provisions for payment of a portion of the cost by the subdivider and the remaining portion of the cost by the city, and provided further, that if any improvement installed within the subdivision, the Council may make provision for causing a portion of the cost of the same and in the case the subdivider will be required only to pay for the portion of the whole cost of the improvement as will represent the benefit to the property within the subdivision.
