A.
Improvement requirements. The subdivider shall install and construct
such improvements, if any, as are required by these regulations in
the manner and to the design standards provided in these regulations.
Approval of the preliminary plat is authorization for the subdivider
to proceed with the minimum improvements required by these regulations.
Before the construction of any improvements or the submission of any
bond or other improvement guarantee, the subdivider shall furnish
the County with all plans necessary for the construction of such improvements.
These plans shall be reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners
and, if in accordance with these regulations, shall be approved by
the County, allowing the subdivision development to proceed.
B.
Improvement agreement. The County shall enter into a subdivision
improvement agreement with a subdivider. This agreement shall constitute
a binding contract between the subdivider and the County and shall
contain those terms and conditions agreed to by the subdivider and
the County. [See Appendix A (Sample Agreement).]
A.
Construction schedule. Roads within a subdivision shall be constructed
only on a schedule approved by the Board of County Commissioners which
demonstrates that road construction will be complete prior to final
plat approval. In approving or disapproving a subdivider's road
construction schedule, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider:
(1)
The proposed use of the subdivision;
(2)
The period of time before the roads will receive substantial use;
(3)
The period of time before construction of homes will begin on the
portion of the subdivision serviced by the road;
(4)
The County regulations governing phased development; and
(5)
The needs of prospective purchasers, lessees, and other persons acquiring
an interest in subdivided land in viewing the land within the subdivision.
B.
Safety. All proposed roads shall conform to minimum County safety
standards.
C.
Demonstration of use/access. The Board of County Commissioners shall
not approve the grading or construction of roads unless and until
the subdivider can reasonably demonstrate that the roads to be constructed
are necessary to provide access to parcels or improvements. It is
unlawful for the subdivider to grade or otherwise commence construction
of roads unless the construction substantially conforms to the schedule
of road development approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
Assurance. In order for the County to be assured of completion of required improvements, the subdivider shall comply with § 200-19B(16) above, or in the case of a summary review plat, with § 200-26C.
