§ 32-103. Application.

(a)

This section shall not apply to land developers not requiring final subdivision plat approval.

(b)

Upon completion of the required improvements, the subdivider may submit an application for final plat approval, which shall consist of the following:

(1)

An application form furnished by the zoning administrator;

(2)

Five copies of the final plat, with appropriate information required by this chapter, and one time-stable reproducible film (Mylar or linen) copy or the original of the plat;

(3)

An application fee in an amount as established from time to time by city council resolution;

(4)

A letter from the applicant's engineer that all required improvements have been constructed and meet the city's specifications;

(5)

A letter from the applicable electricity service company may be required indicating that service points for individual lots and streetlights have been installed;

(6)

A performance bond for required improvements not yet completed (e.g., pavement topping), if a delay in the completion of required improvements is permitted by the zoning administrator, such bond to be:

a.

Conditioned on the faithful performance by the subdivider or developer of all work required within a specified time;

b.

Payable to or for the indemnification of the city in an amount equal to the cost of construction of the required improvements not yet completed plus an additional ten percent of such costs, as approved by the city manager;

c.

With surety by a company entered and licensed to do business in the state; and

d.

Approved as to form and content by the city attorney;

(7)

A maintenance bond, cash deposit, escrow account or other guarantee or instrument of financial security as approved by the city attorney to ensure maintenance of the required improvements in the subdivision for a period of one year after acceptance by the city, payable to the city and in the amount of ten percent more than the city's estimate of actual construction cost. If, upon being notified of the failure of the required improvements, and the subdivider does not correct the deficiency or commence work within ten days of notice, it shall be deemed to be a failure on the bond, and the city shall have the right to make the necessary repairs, either by public work or by private contract, and the bond or instrument of financial security shall be liable for the full amount of the cost and repairs, as determined by the city;

(8)

"As-built" drawings acceptable to the city engineer of all streets showing the planned and actual location of all utility lines, centerline profile of all streets with final grades, and horizontal and vertical alignment including profiles and invert elevations of all storm and sanitary sewer lines; provided, however, the planning and zoning commission may waive this final plat submittal requirement for a set period of time if improvements or "as-built" drawings are not complete, subject to subsequent denial of building permits should such drawings not be submitted.
