The utilities, pavements and other land improvements as required shall be designed of extra size and/or extensions provided as may be necessary to serve nearby land which is an integral part of the neighborhood service or drainage area in addition to the improvements required for the development of the proposed subdivision.
(a) Extra-Size Improvements. The developer shall be required to pay for part of the improvements, but shall not be required to pay for that part of the materials or construction of the pavements of major streets, trunk sewers or water mains which are determined by the Director of Engineering, according to standards set forth in this chapter, to be in excess of the size required for the development of the subdivision and the integral neighborhood service or drainage area.
If a storm sewer, sanitary sewer or water main in excess of the size necessary to service the development is required, but each less in size than the sewer trunk lines or water mains which are to be constructed and financed on a regional basis, the City may construct the extra-size utility and require a deposit in advance from the developer for the cost of the utility he is required to install and his portion of other costs which the City may assess against the benefited property owners of the service or drainage area.
(b) Extensions to Boundaries. The developer shall be required to extend the necessary improvements to the boundary of the proposed subdivision to serve adjoining unsubdivided land, as determined by the Planning Commission.
(c) Off-Site Extensions. If streets or utilities are not available at the boundary of a proposed subdivision, and if the Commission finds the extensions across undeveloped areas would not be warranted as a special assessment to the intervening properties or as a Municipal expense until some future time, the developer may be required, prior to approval of the final plat, to obtain necessary easements or rights of way and construct and pay for such extensions. Such improvements shall be available for connections by developers of adjoining land.
(d) Prorating Costs. In making determinations for prorating costs for the construction of off-site extensions or extra-size improvements, the Commission and Council shall consider in addition to the standards set forth in this chapter and other regulations of the City, the following conditions:
(1) The relative location and size of the proposed subdivision;
(2) The traffic estimated to be generated by the development in relation to present streets;
(3) The natural drainage area for sewers and the service area for water;
(4) The development benefits that will accrue to the subdivision;
(5) The sequence of land and utility development in the vicinity; and
(6) Any other condition it may find pertinent.
