At the discretion of the City Planning Board, the preliminary plat
may be submitted to the Orange County Planning Board for review.

to and approved by the Orange County Department of Health.

Either a performance bond in a form acceptable to the Corporation
Counsel to cover the cost of the required public improvements in an
amount acceptable to the City Engineer shall be posted with the City
Manager or the subdivider shall proceed to install such required public
improvements.
F.
Prior to the approval of the final subdivision plat, the Planning Board shall make certain that the appropriate public improvements are installed and approved by the Planning Board and the City Engineer, or an acceptable performance bond or other financial security acceptable to Corporation Counsel, in an amount specified by the City Engineer, shall be posted with the City Engineer. The City Engineer may provide the Planning Board status reports on these securities. Forms for the submission of the final plat may be obtained from the City Planning Board. Prior to the submission of the final plat, streets and other public lands may be offered to the City Council for dedication. (See Article VII for requirements and details.)
