The Planning Commission shall then transmit the endorsed original tracing of the final plat and two prints thereof to the Village Board of Trustees, with a letter of transmittal in triplicate calling attention to any variations or exceptions to the requirements of this chapter recommended by the Planning Commission under the authority of § 263-45 hereof, and setting forth its reasons for recommending the same. One print of said final plat so endorsed and a copy of all certificates shall remain on file in the office of the Village Clerk for the Planning Commission.
Upon receipt of a final plat and prints thereof so endorsed by the Planning Commission, the Village Clerk shall send the original tracings and one print thereof with a copy of the letter of transmittal from the Planning Commission to the Village Engineer.
A. 
The final plat shall not be approved by the Village Board of Trustees until the Village Engineer has certified thereon that the required improvements specified by this chapter have been constructed in a satisfactory manner in accordance with the minimum standards established by this chapter, or that, in lieu of such prior construction, said subdivider has filed with the Village Clerk, with the approval of the Village Engineer, a surety bond, letter of credit or time certificate of deposit in escrow.
B. 
No final plat shall be approved by the Village Board of Trustees until the Village Engineer certifies that the required improvements have been constructed or recommends that the Board of Trustees accept a surety bond, letter of credit or a time certificate of deposit in escrow in lieu of the required improvements to be constructed. Said surety bond, letter of credit or certified check shall be deposited with the Village Clerk for street grading, pavements, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, signs, alley improvements including storm sewer systems, sewage systems and water supply systems, in the amount equal to the estimated cost of such improvements plus 25% thereof assuring completion of said required improvements within a two-year period from the date of posting the surety bond.

E. 
In addition to the subdivision bond (the bond covering 125% of the estimated cost of the public improvements), the contractor or contractors hired by the developer to construct the public improvements in accordance with the construction plans approved by the Village Engineer shall provide a dual obligee performance and payment bond in the amount of 100% of the contract amount of construction with the developer and the Village of Williamsville being shown as beneficiaries in the event that the contractor does not complete the construction per contract requirements or the contractor's work is unacceptable. The Village of Williamsville shall approve the performance and payment bond prior to the start of any construction of the required public improvements for the proposed development. The performance and payment bond shall also provide for a warranty period of one year, that is, after the public improvements have been completed and accepted by the Village of Williamsville, if there should be any failure of the public improvements constructed within the first 12 months, the contractor agrees to repair said failures or the bond will be called upon to pay for 100% of the cost to repair said failures.
F. 
If the improvements are not completed within the two-year period of time by the subdivider, owner, or his contractor, the surety company shall be responsible for the completion of the work within the next 12 months and the surety bond, letter of credit or time certificate of deposit shall be used for the completion of the work as arranged by the Village Board. Any unexpended balance shall be returned to the subdivider or owner.
When the Village Board of Trustees determines that the final plat has been recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and that the Village Engineer has executed the certificate required in this article, and that the required improvements either have been installed in the manner specified by this chapter, or that said surety bonds, letters of credit or certified checks are in a form and amount sufficient to assure completion, the Village Board of Trustees may approve said final plat, and the Village Clerk shall certify to the same, and thereupon the original of said final plat shall be delivered to the subdivider.
When such final plat has been approved by the Village Board of Trustees and certified by the Village Clerk, it shall be recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Sangamon County, Illinois.
In any plat of a subdivision containing streets or thoroughfares which are therein reserved for dedication to public use, the approval of the street or thoroughfares by the Village Board of Trustees and the Village Engineer shall constitute the acceptance of such streets or thoroughfares to the extent provided by an Act to revise the law in relation to plats, approved March 21, 1874, 765 ILCS 205 Illinois Compiled Statutes (Chapter 109, Illinois Revised Statutes, as amended.)
