A. It is the overall intent of this Title that all land shall be platted whenever and wherever such is required by Section 11-3-1 of this Chapter. However, when individual, isolated parcels of property are encountered in and around the City where the requirements for platting do not appear applicable or are not required under Section 11-3-1 of this Chapter, then it is the intent of this Title that as such properties are developed (i.e., land use changed from one use to a more intensive use, such as "agricultural" to "residential"; or "residential" to "commercial", etc.) and built upon, that the owners and/or developers thereof shall dedicate to the public their equitable share of said developing lands as such is required for the creation of streets, alleys, parks, open spaces, etc.; and utility, pedestrian, drainage way or other similar easements as the above may be needed for the public health, safety, and general welfare and improvement of the City and its inhabitants.
B. It is further intended that the owners or developers of such developing property or property being built upon shall pay for their full share of all street improvements (sidewalk, curb and gutter, paving, etc.), culinary water system improvements, sanitary sewer system improvements, storm drain system improvements, etc., in a manner equitable with that required of the owners and/or developers of platted and subdivided ground.
