§ 98-386. Oversizing.

In order to provide appropriate capacity for reasonably anticipated development in a drainage basin or service area, the city engineer, with the approval of the city council, may require a developer to install a utility line or system improvement larger than necessary to support the developer's specific development. In the event that the city engineer, with approval of the city council, requires the installation of a utility line or system improvements larger than required to serve the development, the developer installing the line will be reimbursed by the city for the difference in cost between the size of the line or system improvement required by the city engineer and the line size or system improvement required to serve the development. The size of the facilities required to serve the development shall be determined by the city engineer. The city may compensate the developer for the difference in cost mandated by oversizing through the process of allowing the developer credits of up to 50 percent of all development fees charged against any portion or phase of the development. Upon written request of the developer, credit for development fees may be transferred from the current development project to subsequent development projects, subdivisions or phases undertaken by the developer.
