(A) Except as otherwise provided, the county will not provide any additional fire protection for approved subdivisions other than from those current departments established at different locations within the county.
(B) When, in the opinion of the Board of County Commissioners and other county emergency response personnel, the size of the subdivision and the number of lots proposed along with other factors, determines that the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the subdivision may require that the subdivider provide substantial improvements to provide fire protection for the subdivision. Such improvements may include, but not be limited to; fire hydrants; water storage for fire protection; other water systems; participation in the acquisition of firefighting equipment; and facilities to house such equipment.
(C) (1) If such fire protection improvements are required, these shall be made at the expense of the subdivider and shall meet all fire protection standards as provided in the National Fire Code, Uniform Building Code and other standards that are applicable to such.
(2) All systems shall be tested and accepted by the county prior to final approval of the subdivision of the county.
(3) In the event that such improvements are not completed or furnished by the subdivider prior to final approval of the subdivision, the subdivider shall provide to the county a form of collateral for the improvements as outlined in § 152.039 of this chapter.
