Appendix B. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS |
Article IX. MINIMUM IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED |
§ 9-011. Acceptance of streets and improvements.
After the installation by the subdivider of the streets and improvements in the subdivision as required by this ordinance, the director of engineering shall issue a Statement of Intent To Accept Streets and Improvements into the Public System. Thereupon, the city shall release part of the performance bond, retaining a bond equal in value to ten (10) percent of the total public improvements. Up to twelve (12) months after issuance of such statement (to allow for the detection and correction of defects) if all defects have been corrected, the city manager shall report to the city council whether or not the streets and improvements have been installed in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the developer and the city and have survived the defect-detection period. Upon such approval the city council shall accept by ordinance such streets and improvements for permanent public maintenance, operation and repair, release all remaining performance bonds, and shall upon request furnish certification of same to the developer, his attorney or agents.
When the subdivider has complied with applicable provisions of this ordinance, and where the necessary improvements have been substantially, but not completely, installed, the director of engineering may issue a certificate setting forth such facts to the subdivider or to any agency of the state or U.S. Government.
