Prior to an action by the Planning Board approving a final plat, the applicant, at his own expense and without reimbursement by the Village, shall have installed or shall furnish performance guarantees for the ultimate installation of certain street, sanitary, and other improvements as specified in the conditional approval of the preliminary plat, and as outlined below, in accordance with this chapter; Chapter
173, Streets and Sidewalks; and the construction standards described in §
115-5 of the Village Code.
The Planning Board may waive, subject to appropriate
conditions, the provision of any or all such improvements and requirements
as, in its judgment of the special circumstances of a particular plat,
are not requisite in the interest of the public health, safety and
general welfare or which, in its judgment, are inappropriate because
of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity
to the subdivision.
A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued
for a structure within a subdivision where the improvements are guaranteed
by a performance bond unless it is determined by the Planning Board
all of the following conditions have been complied with:
A. Status of street improvements. The improvement of
the street or streets giving access to the structure has progressed
to a stage deemed adequate by the Planning Board to render safe all-weather
vehicular access for both routine and emergency purposes.
B. Maintenance agreements. Written agreements have been filed providing for the maintenance of the bonded street or streets in such all-weather passable condition, including snow removal and sanding, during the period between the issuance of the certificate of occupancy and the acceptance of the fully completed street by the Planning Board. (If the street is not to be offered for dedication to the Village, such an agreement will have been required in accordance with §
175-14 of these regulations.)
C. Fees; escrow. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, all applicable professional review fees, environmental fees, inspection fees, and other Village fees related to the application shall be paid to the Village. Should the project escrow account (established pursuant to §
38-1B of the Village Code) be exhausted prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, no further action shall be taken on the application until the escrow account is replenished.
The subdivider shall submit a copy of the full
scale Tax Map(s) on which the location and layout of the proposed
subdivision or resubdivision, including all lots, streets, parks,
playgrounds, open spaces and easements, have been clearly shown to
scale as part of the subdivision process.
