be assured by provision of surety in the form of bond or cash escrow

[Ord. No. 1007 §16-304.02, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §455.280), 9-24-2003]

A.
All streets
in the subdivision shall be paved, including curbs. The subdivider
shall be responsible for the installation of all pavement and curb
on all streets within the subdivision. No grading or other construction
shall take place within a street right-of-way until the construction
plans have been approved by the City Engineer. All street construction
shall conform to the specifications of Mission and compliance therewith,
shall be confirmed by the City Engineer prior to release of surety
by the Governing Body.
B.
In cases
where a proposed subdivision abuts an existing or proposed collector
street or thoroughfare that does not contain a paved surface conforming
to the standards established for such streets, then the following
standards and procedures shall apply:
1.
If the
street or roadway surface consists of hot mix asphaltic concrete pavement
or overlay or Portland cement concrete with a pavement depth of three
(3) inches and minimum width of twenty-four (24) feet, the subdivider
need not make further surface improvements on that street.
2.
If the
street or roadway consists of seal coated surface, crushed rock or
material other than asphaltic concrete; or if the surface is less
than twenty-four (24) feet in width and three (3) inches in depth
or has an irregular deteriorated surface, then the subdivider shall
improve the length of such roadway through or along or abutting the
entire subdivision as part of the subdivision development process.
Such improvement shall consist of not less than a three (3) inch overlay
of hot mix asphaltic concrete twenty-four (24) feet in width. Plans
and specifications for said pavement shall be approved by the City
Engineer in the same manner as other street construction in the City.
3.
When
a plat is approved and prior to recording, the applicant shall pay
to the City sufficient funds to pay one-half (½) the cost of
construction of a thirty-six (36) foot wide collector street or streets
abutting the plat. The amount of such funds is to be estimated by
the City Engineer and is to be based upon the work involved.
C.
The developer
may deposit either cash or an irrevocable letter of credit on a reputable
bank payable to the City due one (1) year from the date of recording
of the plat. Said cash or irrevocable letter of credit shall be deposited
with the Director of Finance for the City. The funds collected from
the developer or from the irrevocable letter of credit shall be placed
in an escrow account set aside for the improvement of said street
or streets to the standards established for such streets. The escrow
account will be the only financial contribution paid by the developer
or his/her successors in interest for collector or thoroughfare streets
serving the platted land and the improvements will be made when scheduled
on the City's capital improvement program or in any event within ten
(10) years from the time the cash is placed into escrow or within
nine (9) years from the cashing of the irrevocable letter of credit.
In the event the improvements are not made within the time stated
above, the cash or funds from the escrow account, together with actual
accrued interest, will be returned to the developer or his/her successors
in interest.
D.
In the
event the actual total project costs are less than that estimated
by the City Engineer or in the event that funds from a governmental
agency other than the City are applied toward the total cost of the
project, that proportionate share of the decreased costs attributable
to the thirty-six (36) foot wide collector street or streets shall
be refunded to the developer or his/her successors in interest.
