Sec. 1. THAT Chapter 9 of the Colleyville Ci ty Code be amended
by adding thereto a new Section 6.1, which shall read as
follows:
11 I.
Improvements To Perimeter Streets and Utilities.
If the subdivision is adjacent to a street or storm
drainage facility not meeting current City standards and
specifications, such street or storm sewer shall be
reconstructed to current standards at the developer's
sole expense unless the developer secures a waiver in
writing from the City Council. As a condition to such
waiver, the City Council shall require the deposit of an
escrow amount sufficient to pay for improvements of one-
half of the street and all adjacent improvements,
subject to such overs.ize participa tion as the Ci ty mayl
agree to under this section. Such escrow withoutll
interest, shall be applied against any assessment for
improvements levied on such property, but shall not be
deemed to relieve such property from liability for any
costs assessed which exceed the escrow. Preliminary
plans for the improvement shall be submitted to the
Planning and Zoning Commission for study and approval if
acceptable. Detailed construction plans, including a
plan and profile for each street, shall be filed with
the submission of a final plat in the same number of
copies as required for the final subdivision plat, and
failure to supply same shall be grounds for denial of
the final plat. If participation and costs of construc-
tion of oversize streets by the City is desired by the
subdivider, the subdivider may request the same and the
City Council will consider each request on its
indi vidual meri ts prior to the construction. The Ci ty
