§ 33-7.1.9. Extension and oversizing policies.

(a)

All public improvements and required servitudes shall be extended through the parcel on which new development is proposed. Streets, water lines, wastewater systems and drainage facilities shall be constructed through new development to promote the logical extension of public infrastructure to serve future growth.

(b)

The parish may require the applicant of a subdivision to extend off-site improvements to reach the subdivision or to oversize required public facilities to serve anticipated future development as a condition of plat or plan approval.

(c)

The parish shall have the option to establish a public improvement district that will reimburse the developer for excess improvements costs, to use an "excess capacity" sharing arrangement between the applicant and subsequent developers of adjacent property benefiting from the oversized facilities or to directly reimburse the developer for excess land and facility costs.

(d)

For the purposes of this section, excess improvements costs shall be the costs required in excess of the applicant's proportionate share of the public improvement based on the demands generated by the proposed development, but excess costs shall not include any of the following:

(1)

The costs of installing up to an eight (8) inch water line, including necessary system loop, and connections to the nearest water main;

(2)

The costs of installing up to an eight (8) inch sewer line and connections it to the nearest sewer main;

(3)

The costs of retaining or detaining on-site all increases in stormwater run-off;

(4)

The cost of building a collector street, or, if the collector follows the property line, the cost of dedicating land and building a local street along the property line.
