§ 10-1.1305

§ 10-1.1306

The following method shall be used by the City Engineer when computing the costs of improvements for the development of one or more lots or parcels:

• (a) All improvements shall be computed on a full block basis. For the purpose of installing improvements, a block is defined as all lots abutting any dedicated street on both sides of the street and including all street areas abutting such lots to the centerline of intersecting streets at either or both ends of such block.

• (b) The costs of all the improvement required by this article shall be spread in the following manner:

  • (1) All lots on the block shall bear a pro rata share for improvements based upon the front footage of each lot in the block abutting the street, except that, for the installation of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on intersecting streets at either or both ends of the block, 25% of the cost of the curbs, gutters, and sidewalks abutting the side of the end lot shall be borne by the end lot, and the remaining 75% shall be prorationed to the interior lots on a front footage basis.

  • (2) If a developer chooses to develop only a portion of his or her holdings on a block, he or she may, with the approval of the City Engineer, install only those improvements which the City Engineer determines to be critical to the use of the lots or parcels he or she is developing. In such case, however, the developer shall file the bond required by the provisions of Section 10-1.1304 of this article to cover all the improvements required by this article for his or her entire holdings.

(§ 1, Ord. 2114 c.s., eff. January 26, 1974, as amended by § 1, Ord. 2526 c.s., eff. February 2, 1989)

The developer may file an appeal with the Council from any decision made in the administration or enforcement of the provisions of this article or on the kind, nature, and extent of the improvements required by the City Engineer in the same manner as provided for appeals from the Commission in Section 10-1.906 of Article 9 of this chapter.
