Exeter Municipal Code Ch. 13.44 Public Improvements in Annexed Areas

The owners and/or developers of all parcels of land annexed to the city shall be individually and/or jointly responsible for the installation of all necessary sewers, storm drainage facilities, street improvements, bridges, culverts and other public facilities as required by the city for the general public welfare and for proper annexed area development. The city will not participate financially in any such development or public facility construction except where extension of relief sewers incidentally aid annexed area development, or where the city council deems specific improvements to be in the general public interest rather than of area or private benefit.

(Ord. 303 §1, 1973)

All petitioners for annexation of property to the city may be billed for an amount sufficient to cover all publication, advertising costs, legal and professional fees, or State or Local Agency Formation Commission costs occurring from the necessary processing of the annexation petitions and a fee to be established by resolution payable to the city for its services, except in the case of the annexation of a voluntary single-family residence, and unless all or a part of such fees are specifically waived as in the public interest by the city council.

(Ord. 303 §2, 1973)
