A. 
All streets in the subdivision shall be paved, including curbs. The subdivider shall be responsible for the installation of all pavement and curb on all streets within the subdivision. No grading or other construction shall take place within a street right-of-way until the construction plans have been approved by the City Engineer. All street construction shall conform to the specifications of Mission and compliance therewith, shall be confirmed by the City Engineer prior to release of surety by the Governing Body.
B. 
In cases where a proposed subdivision abuts an existing or proposed collector street or thoroughfare that does not contain a paved surface conforming to the standards established for such streets, then the following standards and procedures shall apply:
1. 
If the street or roadway surface consists of hot mix asphaltic concrete pavement or overlay or Portland cement concrete with a pavement depth of three (3) inches and minimum width of twenty-four (24) feet, the subdivider need not make further surface improvements on that street.
2. 
If the street or roadway consists of seal coated surface, crushed rock or material other than asphaltic concrete; or if the surface is less than twenty-four (24) feet in width and three (3) inches in depth or has an irregular deteriorated surface, then the subdivider shall improve the length of such roadway through or along or abutting the entire subdivision as part of the subdivision development process. Such improvement shall consist of not less than a three (3) inch overlay of hot mix asphaltic concrete twenty-four (24) feet in width. Plans and specifications for said pavement shall be approved by the City Engineer in the same manner as other street construction in the City.
3. 
When a plat is approved and prior to recording, the applicant shall pay to the City sufficient funds to pay one-half (½) the cost of construction of a thirty-six (36) foot wide collector street or streets abutting the plat. The amount of such funds is to be estimated by the City Engineer and is to be based upon the work involved.
C. 
The developer may deposit either cash or an irrevocable letter of credit on a reputable bank payable to the City due one (1) year from the date of recording of the plat. Said cash or irrevocable letter of credit shall be deposited with the Director of Finance for the City. The funds collected from the developer or from the irrevocable letter of credit shall be placed in an escrow account set aside for the improvement of said street or streets to the standards established for such streets. The escrow account will be the only financial contribution paid by the developer or his/her successors in interest for collector or thoroughfare streets serving the platted land and the improvements will be made when scheduled on the City's capital improvement program or in any event within ten (10) years from the time the cash is placed into escrow or within nine (9) years from the cashing of the irrevocable letter of credit. In the event the improvements are not made within the time stated above, the cash or funds from the escrow account, together with actual accrued interest, will be returned to the developer or his/her successors in interest.
D. 
In the event the actual total project costs are less than that estimated by the City Engineer or in the event that funds from a governmental agency other than the City are applied toward the total cost of the project, that proportionate share of the decreased costs attributable to the thirty-six (36) foot wide collector street or streets shall be refunded to the developer or his/her successors in interest.
