It was pointed out that according to the subdivision ordinance, a developer is required to make street improvements as specified in the code on his half of the street when the subdivision is only located on one side of a street. Therefore, this developer is responsible for improving the south one half of CW Post Road. If the developer can get the City or anyone else to help in making those improvements that would be fine, but, this developer is responsible for one half of the street improvements on CW Post Road. It was further discussed that there are negotiations in progress for such to occur which is independent of what the ordinance requires. Usage of the street as it exists would be prohibited until such time as the street is improved.
