with the City's Functional Street Classification Plan. The City may participate in
the cost of major collector and minor arterial streets for pavement ividths

b. Perimeter Streets
Where the proposed subdivision is located adjacent to a substandard road or street within the

of the subdivision, the subdivider or developer shall pay to the City a fee equal to one-half ('/z)
the cost of improvements required to meet City standards (including, but not limited to,
excavation, subgrade preparation, paving, drainage facilities, utility adjustments and
engineering) and dedicate the necessary right-of-way for said road or street as a condition
precedent to the acceptance of the subdivision improvements by the City for maintenance
purposes. No building permits shall be issued until all fees have been paid. The estimate of
the cost of said improvement shall be determined by the Director of Public Works and made
available to the subdivider. The fees shall be placed by the City into a street improvement
escrow fund, and shall be specifically reserved and used for the improvement of said road or
street. When a thoroughfare is improved adjacent to the subdivision, there shall not be a curb
and gutter assessment levied by the City against the property for which the fee was collected.
If the improvement to the road or street does not occur within twenty (20) years from the
