Standard plans for the construction, improvement and maintenance of highways, streets, bridges, flood control, landscaping, grading, small drainage structures and irrigation and recreational facilities and for the protection, supervision, management, control or use of such facilities shall, from time to time, be submitted by the director of community development and shall, upon approval and adoption by resolution, be enforced by him, and complied with and adhered to, except as provided by section 7-2-14, by developers, builders, contractors, subcontractors, agents and all others engaged in such construction, improvement or maintenance.
