Editor’s note–As set out in the 2006 Code, articles IV and V of chapter 12 (divisions 4 and 5 of this article) were both titled “Improvements.” The titles have been revised by the editor.
All on-site improvements to be dedicated to the public, including water and sewer lines, storm drainage facilities, and street construction shall be installed by the subdivider. The subdivider shall be responsible for 100% of the expense of all on-site improvements, which are to be dedicated to the town and the MUD.

Prior to commencement of construction of any proposed utility lines, drainage, or street improvements, the developer shall have received approval of the engineering plans or designs by the town engineer. The engineering drawings shall contain the seal and signature of a registered professional engineer as required by the laws of the State of Texas.

The town or the MUD, as applicable, shall issue no permit until the completion of all public dedicated improvements and acceptance of such improvements associated with the subdivision are approved by the town.

All construction work, including but not limited to street grading, street paving, storm sewers, curb and/or gutter work, sanitary sewers or water mains performed by the subdivider, developer, owner or contractor shall be subject to inspection by the proper authorities of the town or the MUD and shall be constructed in accordance with the design standards for paving, drainage and utility improvements approved by the town council or the MUD, where applicable, and in accordance with any other provisions of any other ordinance of the town applicable thereto.

In addition, one reproducible drawing of the utility plan sheets, containing the “as-built” information, shall be submitted.
