In determining the necessary sewer line capacity the director of public works shall take into account the anticipated future development of all parcels that use or will use the sewer line to be constructed. The city may enter into an agreement with any person constructing a sewer line pursuant to this section by which such person, or his successor -in -interest, shall be reimbursed for costs of construction of a sewer line, to the extent they exceed such person's own sewer connection fees due under section 39-53, solely from revenues in the sewer connection fee fund established by Article VII of Chapter 13 of this Code.
