The Public Works Director shall determine whether or not a traffic impact analysis is required; in the event that such an analysis is required, it shall be paid for by the property owner, and shall be performed by an independent third party acceptable to the Public Works Director.

C.    In the event that the traffic impact analysis required pursuant to Section 14.1.3 (B) determines that right-of-way dedication is not required, then and in that event the City of Prescott shall be responsible for paying for the actual cost of said analysis.

All such sums deposited shall be used to defray the cost of any required off-site improvements, and when thus installed the portion of such deposit exceeding the cost of said installation shall be refunded, without interest, to the person making the deposit.
