The City shall be responsible for streetlighting; grading, surfacing
and curb and gutter of streets; sanitary sewer facilities; stormwater
drainage facilities; and water supply facilities. The City shall construct
or cause to be constructed such streets and utilities in conformance
with plans and standard specifications developed by the City Engineer
and in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The costs of such
improvements and plans shall be paid to the City by the subdivider
through assessments in conformance with rates established in the resolution
establishing special assessment rates for public improvements, as
amended from time to time.
A. Street surfacing. Street surfacing shall be of the type and width
prescribed by the Comprehensive Plan, and any cost of surfacing in
excess of 36 feet in width and to standards over and above those which
would be required for local streets that are not required to serve
the needs of the subdivider shall be borne by the City.
B. Curb and gutter. Curb and gutter shall be constructed and the cost
of installation of all inside curbs and gutters for dual roadway pavement
shall be borne by the City.
C. Sanitary sewer. Sanitary sewer shall be constructed as to make adequate
sanitary sewerage service available to each lot within the subdivision.
The developer shall be responsible for the cost of sewer up to and
including 10 inches in diameter in residential subdivisions and up
to and including 12 inches in diameter in nonresidential subdivisions.
The City shall bear the additional cost of the larger sewer pipe.
D. Water mains and hydrants. Water mains and hydrants shall be constructed
in such manner as to make adequate water service available to each
lot within the subdivision. If greater than eight-inch water mains
are required in residential subdivisions or if greater than twelve-inch
diameter water mains are required in nonresidential subdivisions,
the excess cost of such mains over and above the eight-inch mains
in residential subdivisions or twelve-inch mains in nonresidential
subdivisions shall be borne by the City.
E. Streetlighting. Streetlighting shall be of a type consistent with
the nature of the street and its lighting requirements as specified
by the Plan Commission and in accordance with the ornamental streetlighting
specifications on file in the Department of Public Works. The subdivider
shall be responsible for the cost of residential ornamental streetlighting,
and, in cases where greater than residential lighting is required,
all costs over and above the cost of normal residential streetlighting
shall be borne by the City.
F. Grading and fill. The placement of fill shall be completed in accord
with the master drainage plan for a subdivision, to be accomplished
as development occurs. The requirements of this subsection shall apply
to any lot(s) within a subdivision whose final plat is recorded after
adoption of this subsection. In addition, the following standards
must be met to assure that water will not pond within a lot or series
of lots to create aesthetic, safety, health or other problems normally
associated with standing water:
(1) The owner of a lot to be developed shall take the necessary physical
steps to ensure that water will flow from any point within the lot
to a natural or constructed drainage course in accord with the master
drainage plan for the subdivision. The responsibility for the construction
and maintenance of any drainage course within a lot, as specified
by the master drainage plan for the subdivision, shall remain with
the owner of said lot and such responsibility shall pass to any successive
owner.
(2) The owner of an undeveloped lot shall take appropriate measures to
prevent the accumulation of water on such lot. Compliance with this
requirement may necessitate temporary site modifications to assure
proper drainage prior to the completion of final grading of all adjacent
lots.
(3) Where water accumulates to create a hazard or threat to public safety on an undeveloped lot, or on a lot where the construction of a new structure has commenced, the owner of such lot shall be responsible for abatement in accord with the provisions of Chapter
476, Nuisances, of this Code.
The subdivider shall construct sidewalks in accordance with §
568-29 of this Code.
[Amended 7-12-1995 by Ord. No. 2791; 7-25-2001 by Ord. No. 3065; 10-27-2004 by Ord. No. 3227]
The City shall plant one tree at least two inches in diameter
for every 75 feet of lot frontage on all streets. The cost of the
tree and installation shall be assessed to the abutting property owners
at the time of assessment for street construction. If the abutting
property owner has been previously assessed for street construction,
then the cost of the trees and installation shall be paid by the abutting
property owner at the time of application for a building permit. Where
the developer of a subdivision constructs the street, the City shall
install the trees and the cost of the trees and installation shall
be assessed to the developer upon approval of the final plat. The
cost of the trees shall be based on the City bid prices for supply
and planting of specimen tree stock. Installation of trees shall occur
in the year following the construction of 50% of the houses on a street.
The location of trees shall be at the discretion of the City Park
Division. The City Park Division shall, where possible, consult with
property owners in residential districts regarding the final placement
of street trees to coincide with individual landscape plans.
Sites engaging in land disturbing construction activity shall install and maintain construction site erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with the provisions of Chapter
325, Erosion Control and Stormwater Management, of this Code.
