additional costs on the following terms and conditions:
1.Â
The Village Engineer shall determine the cost of such storm
sewer, sanitary sewer and/or water facilities as are required to serve

required to serve the plat in question and the adjacent land when
developed.

paid to the developer upon the development of the adjacent properties.

property developer by reason of the increased facilities. The adjacent
property developer shall pay the Village a sum of money equal to his
proportionate share of the cost of the increased facilities, plus

of such proportionate share payment by the adjacent property developer,
the Village shall reimburse the developer who originally installed
the increased facilities.
