(a) Any proposed reimbursement agreement shall be first presented to the Public Works Director. The Director shall preliminarily determine what portion of the public improvement construction costs, if any, may be reimbursable. Engineering, legal and planning costs associated with the project shall also be eligible for reimbursement. The Director shall thereupon recommend to the Town Council what costs shall be reimbursed, if any, and shall also recommend a method of allocation of such costs.

(b) Reimbursable costs shall generally be determined by multiplying the average cost per linear foot of the entire public improvement, times the length of intervening properties benefited by the improvements and not located within the developer’s property to be served by the improvements.

(c) Reimbursable costs shall be generally allocated to each benefited property by dividing its lot frontage along the improvement by the total benefited frontage, times the total eligible reimbursement cost. A different method of allocation or determination of reimbursable costs may be used in particular cases so as to most fairly allocate reimbursement costs according to the unique factual circumstances of property benefited by any particular improvement.

(d) Eligible reimbursement costs shall not include costs of public improvements otherwise required as a condition of approval of any major subdivision, except that the additional material costs of oversizing any water or sewer main not required to serve the subdivision may be eligible for reimbursement.
