The subdivider shall construct all required improvements both
on-and off-site, in accordance with standard engineering specifications
and other approved standards as provided by this chapter. No final
map shall be presented to the City Council or parcel map to the City
Engineer for approval until the subdivider either completes the required
improvements, or enters into an agreement with the City agreeing to
do the work.

All parcels created shall have access to a public street improved
to City standards. Private streets shall not normally be permitted;
however, if the Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator determines
that the most logical development of the land requires that parcels
be created with access to private streets, such a development may
be approved. The subdivider shall submit a development plan showing
the alignment, width, grade, and material specifications of any proposed
private street, the topography and means of access to each parcel,
and the drainage and sewerage of the parcels served by such private
street. Construction of the private street, as approved by the City
Engineer, shall be completed prior to the completion of the construction
and/or occupancy of the parcels. The subdivider shall be required
to provide a feasible method for the maintenance of such private streets.
