If the Board requires the subdivider to create
or extend an improvement district, the Board, if it approves the final
plat plan, shall conditionally approve the final plat and impose as
a condition the creation or extension of the required improvement
districts. Upon the Board conditionally approving the final plat,
the subdivider shall then seek the creation or extension of the required
districts by the Town Board or, alternatively, the subdivider, upon
preliminary plat plan approval, may seek the creation or extension
of required districts by the Town Board, provided that, upon the approval
of the creation or extension of the required district or districts,
the Town Board resolution shall require the subdivider to execute
such contracts with the Town as the Town Board may deem necessary
for the purpose of ensuring that the expense of such construction
or installation is of no cost to the Town, including the filing of
performance security. All pipes, mains and conduits in any improvement
district or extension of an improvement district shall be constructed
to the furthest extremity of the property to be developed, except
in the event that the Town Board finds the waiver of this requirement
is not contrary to the best interest of the Town, then, in that event,
the Town Board may so waive the requirement.
