§ 152.160 GENERAL PROVISIONS.
   (A)   Generally. The subdivider shall be required to install improvements, where the need for such improvements is created in whole or in part by the proposed subdivision, in accordance with § 152.161. For purposes of this section, an OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENT shall mean any improvement listed in these regulations which are to be installed on property located outside the proposed subdivision.
   (B)   Installation. Any required improvements shall be installed according to city standards; provided improvements to roads located outside the city’s corporate limits but within the city’s planning area shall be installed to county standards. The subdivider shall be required to bear that portion of the cost of improvements which bears a rational nexus to the needs created by the subdivision.
   (C)   Proportionate share. At the time the Planning Commission grants preliminary plat approval, the Planning Commission shall determine whether the proposed subdivision creates a need for improvements and the portion of the cost of any needed improvements which the subdivider shall be required to bear; provided, that portion of the cost of improvements to roads located outside the city’s corporate limits but within the city’s planning area shall be determined by the county. In determining that portion of the cost of improvements which the subdivider shall be required to bear the Planning Commission shall consider the acreage within the proposed subdivision as a percentage of all the acreage which, when fully developed will benefit from the offsite improvements; provided, the Planning Commission may use a different method of measurement if it determines that use of the acreage standard will not result in the subdivider bearing that portion of the cost which bears a rational nexus to the needs created by the subdivision.
