Developers should pay for new roads, drainage, water and sewer connections or extra capacity needed by their developments. They should also fund parks and recreation linked to that growth. The municipality should pay for improvements that benefit the wider community and take responsibility for ongoing maintenance after construction. These costs and responsibilities should be clear before a development is approved.
