§ 1506. Street dedications and improvements

Because of changes that may occur due to drainage conditions, utility service requirements, or vehicular traffic generated by facilities requiring a site plan review, the following dedications and improvements may be deemed necessary and may be required as a condition or conditions to the approval of any site plan:

A.

Development bordering or traversed by an existing street: If the development borders or is traversed by an existing street, the applicant may be required to:

1.

Dedicate all necessary rights-of-way to widen a bordering minor or collector street to the extent of one-half (½) the ultimate width established by the city as the standard for such minor or collector street, or the full extent required for a frontage road.

2.

Dedicate all necessary rights-of-way to widen a traversing minor or collector street to its ultimate width established by the city as the standard for such minor or collector street.

3.

Dedicate all necessary rights-of-way to widen a bordering or traversing arterial street to the standards of width established by the city for the arterial street.

4.

Set back all facilities the required distance from ultimate property lines along an arterial street as shown on any master, official or precise plan of streets and highways, or by the city's general plan.

5.

Install curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street signs, street lights and street trees along one side of a bordering or along both sides of a traversing minor, collector or arterial street.

6.

Install utilities and drainage facilities to the full extent of the service requirements generated by the development.

7.

Grade and improve bordering minor or collector streets from curb to the center line of the ultimate right-of-way.

8.

Grade and improve traversing minor or collector streets from curb to curb.

9.

Grade and improve the parking lane and one traffic lane adjacent to the development, or the full half width along a bordering arterial street.

10.

Grade and improve both parking lanes and the two outside traffic lanes, or the full width of, a traversing arterial street.

The extent of improvements required for arterial street improvements will be based on the extent of traffic generated by the proposed project, with reimbursement by agreement with the city to be provided where the extent of improvement is significantly greater than that generated by the proposed project.

B.

Except as provided in subsections 1506.C and D, all new roads shall be dedicated and improved in accordance with the requirements of subsection 1506.A.

C.

Where a frontage road is provided and improved along an arterial street in accordance with city standards, the curb, gutter, sidewalk, street sign, street light, grading and paving requirements of subsections 1506.A.5 and 10, pertaining to arterial streets may be waived.

D.

Where total access to or from a bordering or traversing arterial street is prohibited as a condition of approval, or by law, the curb, gutter, sidewalk, street sign, street light, grading and paving requirements of subsectiond 1506.A.5 and 10, pertaining to arterial streets, may be waived.

E.

All improvements shall be to city standards existing at the time the site plan is approved and shall be installed at the time of the proposed development. Where it is determined by the city that it is impractical to put in any or all improvements at the time of the proposed development, an agreement to make such improvements may be accepted in lieu thereof. In any event, the applicant shall enter into an agreement with the city for the provision of improvements before a building permit may be issued, at which time there shall be money deposited with or in favor of the city, or a letter of credit or performance bond posted with the city, in an amount equal to 150 percent of the estimated cost of improvements, as estimated by the city engineer, to guarantee the making of such improvements.
