A. Sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and street paving shall be installed along all street frontage of any building lot at the time of construction upon that lot unless an exception is granted by the City Council as established under subsection (D) of this section.
B. The location and specifications for said sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and streets shall be determined by the City Engineer.
C. The construction of streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters will be complete at the time of final inspection by the building inspector unless an exception has been granted by the City Council as established under subsection (D) of this section.
D. In the event that the lot frontage meets all of the following criteria, the City Council may grant an exception where the property owner shall pay a fee in lieu of construction. Those criteria are:
1. The frontage of the lot exceeds two hundred lineal feet;
2. The lot is intended only for a single-household residence;
3. The construction of the street, curb and gutter, and sidewalks is inconsistent with the street character; and
4. The exception will not create, extend or perpetuate a half-paved street.
E. The fee in lieu of construction shall be an amount equal to a percentage, as specified in the Master Fee Schedule, Chapter 3.50, of the estimated cost of constructing two hundred lineal feet of the required improvements. Those funds shall be submitted by the property owner to the City for deposit into a street fund for future use to develop and repair sidewalks, curbs and gutters, pedestrian trails, and streets within the City. The City Engineer shall calculate the lineal foot costs for construction of the improvements by consulting licensed contractors in the area.
