Section 17-24 Compliance with regulations required.
(a) No new street or alley shall be accepted by the city for the upkeep and maintenance or for the installation of public utilities thereon or therein until and unless the following regulations are complied with and the opening of any such streets or alleys without the compliance with such regulations is hereby prohibited. (b) No subdivision, or building area plan shall be approved by the city council, until the subdivision or building area plan as shown on a plat has been approved by the planning board. (c) Before approval and acceptance of a plat of a subdivision or building area, the following shall be done: (1) The plat submitted shall be prepared by and bear the seal of a registered engineer or land surveyor. The plat shall show the layout of streets, lots and drainage and shall be accompanied by profiles showing finished grades and drainage of streets. (2) All lots shall comply with zoning of area in which subdivision, or building area, is located. (3) Street right-of-way shall be sixty-feet minimum width, consistent with the provisions of section 17-138 and section 17-188 of this chapter. (4) Grading of streets shall be done by the developer. Roadway shall be graded to a minimum width of thirty-two (32) feet. Shoulders, parkways and sidewalk areas shall be graded in accordance with street grades. All dead-end streets shall have a turnaround sufficiently large to accommodate fire apparatus and shall extend to a boundary of the subdivision.

The city council shall also require that sanitary sewers be installed prior to the acceptance of any new streets or roadways in accordance with standards adopted and prescribed by the city engineer. All the costs of such installations are to be borne by the developer. However, the city council reserves the right to waive this requirement when in its sole discretion, the costs of such construction are prohibitive to the developer. The city council shall also have the authority to formulate such methods of assisting developers in financing such new sewers as shall be required, from time to time, in order to serve the best interest of orderly land development in the city. (7) All block and lot corners and all changes in alignment shall be adequately monumented and marked with permanent markers and monuments.
