Whenever the Commission shall deem it reasonably necessary or appropriate to a proper disposition of any application, it may require the applicant to submit, at or prior to the hearing thereon, any other information in such form as it may prescribe.

In deciding any application for final approval
hereunder:
A. Where preliminary approval was granted. In the case
of a road for which preliminary approval of the location, layout,
design and construction plans was granted by the Commission, the Commission
shall determine whether or not the road and its associated improvements
conform to the proposed location, layout, design and construction
plans approved and to the criteria and standards hereinafter specified
or prescribed for such road and all associated improvements in or
pursuant to these regulations.
B. Where no preliminary approval was granted. In the
case of a road for which no preliminary approval shall have been granted,
the Commission shall determine whether or not such road and all associated
improvements conform to the criteria and standards hereinafter specified
or prescribed in or pursuant to these regulations.
An approval of an application for final approval
hereunder shall authorize the applicant to offer such road and its
associated improvements to the Town for acceptance as a Town road.
It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness
of any final approval hereunder that the applicant shall post with
the First Selectman a maintenance bond secured by a passbook savings
account deposited in a Connecticut savings bank or banks and from
which the Town of Killingworth may withdraw funds or by cash in the
form of a certified check payable to the Town of Killingworth indemnifying
the Town against costs and expenses of labor and materials necessary
or appropriate to correct or replace improper or defective materials
or faulty workmanship, including any damage to any property of the
Town resulting therefrom, or to complete construction in conformity
with the standards, criteria and specifications prescribed in such
regulations and indemnifying the Town against liability for personal
injury and property damage caused by any such improper or defective
materials or faulty workmanship, including conditions resulting therefrom.
Such bond shall remain in effect for a period of one year after final
approval.
