Improvements. B. (6) Streets and alleys. All subdivisions must have access to an improved arterial street or to a street funded for improvement as an arterial street. Any subdivision which does not have adequate access to an improved arterial street or an arterial street funded is required to improve the impacted off-site streets as determined by the City to include, as a minimum, � a thirty-six-foot-wide paved section on an adequate base for the ultimate design of the street as designated on the Master Street Plan or as determined by the City Engineer. A waiver to these requirements may be granted by the City Engineer when, in his determination, the exist- ing arterial is in substantial compliance with the criteria for arterial streets , When any person constructs a street, alley or path through undeveloped areas to serve his property or constructs such improvements along the perimeter of his property, the entire cost of such construction shall be the responsibility of such person. If this developer has furnished the City Engineer with an approved itemized list of the construction costs and has entered into an agreement for repayment with the city within ninety (90) days of the completion and accept- ance by the city of such improvements, then at the time the property abutting such improvements is developed and access to such improvements is accomplished, the city may collect a charge per front foot from the abutting property developer and, if so collected, shall reimburse the original installer to the extent of such collection after making any necessary adjust- ments. The amount of the reimbursement paid to the city may be the original cost of the improvements plus any mutually agreed upon amount to reflect the effects of inflation, if any, but in no case shall the reimbursement be less than the original cost. These adjustments may be based on the Construction Cost Index for Denver, Colorado, as published monthly by Engineering News Record. Streets and alleys shall be completed as required by the City Engineer and all payments fully made for exist- ing beneficial streets before the reimbursement to the original installer is made pursuant to provisions as contained herein. Any right to reimbursement pursuant to this provision shall not exceed a period of ten ( 10) years from the execution of the agreement. The City Council may approve extensions of the agreement for additional ten-year periods.
