Subsequent to the applicant's obtaining of preliminary
subdivision plat approval and before the obtaining of final subdivision
approval, in its sole discretion and upon such conditions as it deems

at the applicant's own risk, to commence to construct street, highway,
sanitary, water, drainage and other proposed subdivision improvements
to a degree and level stipulated by the Planning Board.

Performance bonds under Town Law § 277 shall comply with the specific bond and security requirements of §
199-8 of Chapter
199 of the Code of the Town of LaGrange (Streets and Sidewalks) , and shall cover all road, drainage, sewer and water improvements proposed in the subdivision development and illustrated on plans approved by the Planning Board.
The Town may employ an inspector to act as agent
of the Planning Board for the purposes of assuring the satisfactory
completion of improvements required by the Planning Board and shall
determine an amount sufficient to defray costs of inspection. The
applicant shall pay the Town costs of inspection before the subdivision
plat is signed for filing. If the Planning Board or its agent finds,
upon inspection, that any of the required improvements have not been
constructed in accordance with the approved drawings, the applicant
and the bonding company will be severally and jointly liable for the
costs of completing said improvements according to specifications.
Permanent monuments of a design acceptable to
the Town Superintendent shall be set at block corners and at intervals
of approximately 500 feet or such other distance as the Planning Board
may determine appropriate, and their location shall be shown on the
subdivision plat. Such monuments shall be set so as to prevent their
movement due to normal frost upheaval pressures and movements. Iron
pipes shall not be considered permanent monuments for the purpose
of this chapter.
