§ 33-7.5.8. Oversizing streets.

(a)

Responsibility . Where a designated street, according to the Jefferson Parish Thoroughfare Plan, runs through the proposed subdivision, the applicant shall be responsible for the costs of construction of such street to a collector street standard unless the development generates sufficient traffic to justify construction of an arterial street.

(b)

Reimbursement and costs . If the designated street exceeds the collector standard, the applicant shall be required to construct the designated street subject to reimbursement by the parish for the construction cost of the difference between the collector street and arterial street. Should reimbursement funds by the parish not be available, the applicant's responsibility for construction shall be limited to a collector standard; however, the development and street design shall be modified to facilitate future expansion of such street. The plat shall identify anticipated future right-of-way required for compliance with the Jefferson Parish Thoroughfare Plan and no buildings may encroach into future right-of-way. The maximum allowable density or intensity of development on the site shall be calculated based on the area of the property prior to the dedication of the additional right-of-way.
