(Ord. No. 1905, § 1, 6-3-2015)

Whenever the public works director determines that a stormwater conveyance extension is necessary, the applicant will be required to install, at the applicant's own expense, the stormwater conveyance extension in accordance with the engineering plans furnished by applicant and approved by the public works director. The plans shall be prepared in accordance with the city design standards.

(Ord. No. 1905, § 1, 6-3-2015)

In every case where a storm drain is to be tapped to serve a parcel, the same shall be extended the full frontage of the parcel unless the public works director determines that the storm drain will not need to be extended to serve any other properties.

(Ord. No. 1905, § 1, 6-3-2015)

The reimbursement shall be based on the difference in cost between the actual pipe to be installed and an eighteen-inch storm drain as applicable. The difference in cost shall be determined by the public works director. The reimbursement shall be made in accordance with Chapter 17.62.
