The subdivider shall grade and pave residential streets, accessways and alleys, construct or install curbs, gutters, fire hydrants, water mains, sanitary sewers, storm sewers and related improvements and facilities, sidewalks, crosswalks and off-street parking paving, as shown on the approved subdivision plan. If the subdivider does not control all the property between his or her property and existing improved street and utility facilities and presents proof that other owners will not cooperate in the construction of improvements, the matter shall be referred to the City Council. If a secondary road or through highway is involved, the matter of additional pavement shall be discussed with the City Council to determine what proportion of the cost thereof shall be borne by the subdivider. When a street is not built so as to connect with another, a temporary turnaround which meets the requirements of a cul-de-sac shall be constructed at the dead end.
All work shall be in strict accordance with the approved plans and specifications now in effect or hereafter adopted relating to such type of work.
All gas, water, electric and other mains, pipes and conduits, together with all service connections or laterals which shall be constructed to the property lines, shall be laid, where the need therefor can be reasonably determined, before streets, accessways or alleys shown on approved plans are paved. After such streets, accessways or alleys are paved, no openings shall be permitted in such paving for a period of five years, except by special permission of the City Council.
A. 
Twenty-four-hour notice to the City. The City Manager and/or his/her designee or City representative must be notified 24 hours in advance of the commencement of any construction operation in order that provisions may be made for the proper inspection thereof.
