A. The director of public works and the director of utilities may approve and allow such variations and deviations from the dedication and improvement requirements of this chapter as determined necessary by the conditions of the terrain and the existing improvements contiguous to the property involved or may accept a cash payment in lieu of immediate improvements of the dedicated right-of-way, which is based upon the director of public works current estimate of improvement costs.
B. Such in-lieu payments shall be held by the city in a special fund and used for the future improvement of the dedicated right-of-way. In any case, where the director of public works determines that some or all improvements required by this chapter are inappropriate based on the disproportionate cost of improvements to the cost of the development for which the permit is sought or based on physical conditions at the site, the director of public works may waive the requirement to install some or all of the improvements.
