The Board of Supervisors, at its discretion, may hold a public

Prior to approving the final plan of a major subdivision or
a major land development, in which based upon specific improvements,
the Board of Supervisors shall require the following of the applicant:
A. The installation of all required improvements in accordance with
the design standards and specifications of this chapter all applicable
terms and all other requirements in granting approval; or
B. Provision of a form of financial security, acceptable by the Board
of Supervisors, which assures and guarantees the subsequent installation
of all required improvements in accordance with the design standards
and specifications of this chapter and all other requirements in granting

Prior to granting final approval of a major subdivision plan,
the Board of Supervisors may permit the plan to be divided into two
or more sections or phases and may impose such conditions upon the
filing of the sections as it may deem necessary to assure the orderly
development of the plan. A total of 25% of the proposed number of
dwelling units must be included within Phase I. The Board of Supervisors
may require that the financial security be in such amount as is commensurate
with the section or sections of the plan to be filed and may defer
the remaining required financial security principal amount until the
remaining sections of the plan are offered for filing. The developer
may also file in writing irrevocable offers to dedicate streets and
public improvements in the sections offered to be filed and defer
filing offers of dedication for the remaining sections until such
sections, subject to any conditions imposed by the Board of Supervisors
shall be granted concurrently with final approval of the plan.
