§ 15-67. Required construction  


Latest version.
  • (a) Whenever a development is planned in a location where the master drainage plan or condition of approval calls for a storm drain and the applicant or developer is required to construct the storm drain upon a public right-of-way or on private property to be dedicated as a public right-of-way, the applicant or developer shall be required to post appropriate bonds to cover the estimated construction cost of the storm drain and submit copies of bid prices to the city engineer prior to construction. Any and all such bonds shall be exonerated upon acceptance of construction by the city engineer.

    (b) If the city engineer determines that additional drainage facilities are required in order to adequately provide for drainage, the city engineer may require, as a condition of approval, the construction of those facilities for the detention of storm water or such other means as may be necessary to provide adequate drainage of a particular property without adversely affecting adjacent properties or the city's drainage system.

    (c) Notwithstanding anything provided in this section 15-67 or elsewhere in this chapter III, any construction of drainage facilities required to be constructed prior to issuance of development approval shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, imposition of the drainage fee applicable to that property.
