4. Sanitary Sewers And Other Utilities. The subdivider shall be responsible
for the proper installation of all utilities including sanitary sewers,
and connection to approved treatment facilities and water supply approved

and telephone service. Such utilities shall be installed according
to the specifications and minimum standards of the controlling utility
company or public agency. However, distribution lines, power, telephone,

within the subdivision. Such street signs shall follow the street
names designated on the approved final plat and shall comply with
the specifications of the City.
6. Grading. Grading of land within the 50-year flood plain or watercourse
designated and delineated as being subject to flood hazard shall not
be permitted unless sufficient topographic and hydrologic data developed
by a licensed engineer or qualified geologist is presented to the
Commission indicating that such action shall not have detrimental
influence on the flow characteristics of the stream or watercourse.
Sediment basins may be required by the Commission to remove sediment
from runoff waters from areas being developed.
[Code 1999 §410.160; Ord. No. 479 Art. VII, 11-9-1995]
A. Installation Surety. The proper installation of street pavement,
curbs, or curb and gutter, walks, storm drainage facilities, and street
signs shall be guaranteed by the subdivider or his/her agent or surety
in the form of surety bond, cashier's check, escrow account or other
like surety. Such surety shall be to the favor of the City and shall
be satisfactory at the time construction plans are submitted for approval
and prior to issuance of a building permit. The amount of surety shall
be for two hundred percent (200%) of the full cost of improvements
as estimated by a registered engineer licensed to practice in the
State of Missouri and shall remain in effect until final acceptance
of all improvements by the Planning and Zoning Commission and acceptance
of the performance bond.
Such surety shall be properly executed prior to any grading
or construction and may be released in segments upon written approval
of the Planning and Zoning Commission and by action of the Board of
Aldermen. A building permit shall not be issued for any lot or tract
in a residential subdivision which abuts a street for which surety
has not been furnished.
B. Performance Bond. In addition to the above surety requirement,
a performance bond to the favor of the City of Seymour shall be provided
by the subdivider including all streets, curb and gutter, alleys,
sidewalks, sanitary sewer installation, and drainage structures. Such
bond shall be in effect prior to acceptance of the improvements and
shall remain in effect for a period of three (3) years from acceptance.
