Construction
The subdivider shall, at his own expense, pay
for constructing all collector streets and
alleys in his subdivision and one-half (1/2)
of all perimeter streets and alleys to
include the integral curb on the side nearest
the property line. Where the proposed
subdivision is located adjacent to a sub-
standard road or street and it is deemed not
feasible, by the City of Wylie, to improve
said road or street at the time of
development of the subdivision, the developer
shall pay to the city a monetary amount equal
to the cost of improvements (including
excavation, sub-grade preparation, paving,
drainage facilities, utility adjustments, and
engineering) for said road or street as a
condition precedent to the approval of any
plat for said subdivision. The estimate of
cost of said improvements shall be determined
by the city engineer with said estimate being
made available to the developer. Said amount
shall be placed by the city into a fund
labeled Street Improvement Fund, and shall be
specifically used for the improvement of said
road or street. If improvement to said road
or street does not occur within a twenty (20)
year period from the date the money is so
placed on deposit with the city, said money
including any earned interest thereon shall
be returned to the property owners of record
at that time. Should the city make said
improvement within the period specified then
the city is entitled to use all funds
including earned interest in order to
accomplish the required paving project. Said
earned interest shall be considered to offset
the cost of inflation to a project. In no
case except the twenty (20) year default
provision made above, shall any developer be
entitled to a refund of any amount or portion
thereof.
