The subdivider shall design and construct improvements to not
less than the standards outlined in this chapter and all other applicable
laws and regulations. The work shall be done under City supervision
and inspection and shall be completed within the time fixed or agreed
upon by the City Engineer. The minimum requirements for materials
shall be in accordance with the standards currently in effect in the
City or as otherwise approved at the discretion of the City Engineer.
Standards applicable to health and sanitation, as required by the
Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy and the Nebraska Department
of Health and Human Services, shall be deemed to be the minimum standards
required.
Permanent monuments shall be accurately set and established
at the intersection of all outside boundary lines of the subdivision;
at the intersection of those boundary lines with all street lines;
at the beginning and end of all curves; at points on curves where
the radius or direction changes; and at such other points as are necessary
to establish definitively all lines of the plat, including all lot
corners.
A. Monumentation shall be in conformance with the minimum standards
for surveys adopted by the Nebraska State Board of Examiners for Land
Surveyors.
B. The subdivider shall provide a surety, either cash or corporate bond,
to ensure that monuments are set. The amount of the surety shall be
estimated by the City Engineer with guidance from the Master Fee Schedule.
The subdivider's surveyor shall provide a written statement to the
City that the monumentation requirements have been met in order to
retire the bond.
Fire hydrants shall be provided in all subdivisions with public
water supplies and shall have a maximum spacing between hydrants of
600 feet measured along the rights-of-way. The type of hydrant and
control valves and the location of the hydrant shall be subject to
the approval of the Fire Chief. The minimum size of any waterline
serving any fire hydrant(s) shall not be less than six inches in diameter,
and such waterlines should be circulating waterlines. The size and
location of waterlines within the City's public water system shall
be confirmed by the subdivider with the City-wide water model and
shall be subject to the approval of the City Engineer. All hydrants
shall be yellow in color, unless otherwise approved by the Fire Chief.
The installation of other improvements may be required when
deemed necessary in the best interest of the community.
A. Extensions to boundaries. The subdivider may be required to extend
the necessary improvements to the boundary of the proposed subdivision
to serve adjoining unsubdivided land, as determined by the City Engineer.
B. Off-site extensions. If streets or utilities are not available at
the boundary of a proposed subdivision, and if the City Council finds
the extensions across undeveloped areas would not be warranted as
a special assessment to the intervening properties or as a City expense
until some future time, the subdivider 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 subdividers of adjoining land.
C. Public recreation improvements. The subdivider shall provide the
City with a cost estimate for all public recreation improvements prior
to the City Council's consideration or approval of such improvements.
Unless otherwise required or allowed by the applicable Nebraska
Revised Statutes and City Code, it is the intention of the City to
provide no services other than building, planning, and zoning administration
to that part of the planning jurisdiction located outside the corporate
limits of the City (i.e., City's extraterritorial jurisdiction). It
shall be the obligation of the subdivider to present to the Planning
Commission and City Council a precise approach for the provision of
any services other than building, planning, and zoning administration.
Said approach may include the formation of homeowners' organizations
or other methods to operate and provide for long-term maintenance
and service. Said approach shall be made binding on the subdivider
in a form, agreement, or contract in a manner which is acceptable
to the City Attorney.
