THAT Chapter 9 of the Colleyville City Code be amended
by adding thereto a new Section 6.I, which shall read as
follows:
"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 may require the deposit of an
escrow amount sufficient to pay for improvements of one-
half of the street and all adjacent improvements, sub-
ject to such oversize participation as the City may
agree to under thi s section. Such escrow without
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 i
subdivider, the subdivider may request the same and the
City Council will consider each request on its
individual merits prior to the construction. The City
shall not be bound unless and until it enters into a
written contract setting forth in detail the amount and
extent of the City's participation. The City shall not
participate in any costs of any street which is not '
either immediately adjacent to the City's property or
which is oversized due to factors other than the pro-
posed development. II
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the
provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon final conviction thereof fined in
an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00).
Each and every day such violation continues shall con-
stitute a separate offense and is punishable as such.
The City Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to
cause publication of the descriptive caption and penalty
clause of this ordinance as an alternative method of
publication provided by law.
The enactment of this ordinance as an emergency
ordinance is necessary in order to prevent the creation
of a significant public danger resulting from the
development of subdivisions without improving adjacent
substandard streets and this ordinance shall take effect
immediately upon its passage.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
