(c) Approval. Improvement plans, a grading plan and the plat shall be submitted to the Planning Director and City Engineer and shall be in conformance with the approved preliminary plan. If the City Engineer approves the improvement plans and plat and all require- ments of this Chapter and all other pertinent ordinances of the City have been complied with, the plans and plat shall be present- ed to the Planning Commission for approval. Upon approval by the Planning Commission and certification to that by the signature of the Chairman and Secretary on the original plat, the plat and plans will be forwarded to City Council. Council shall act upon the plans and/or plat either separately or concurrently, but in no event shall it approve the plat for recording until the improve- ments are constructed or their construction guaranteed. When the improvement plans are approved, construction of the improvements may be started. Upon completion of construction of all improvements in accordance with the approved plans, the plat may be approved and recorded, building permits may be issued and lots may be sold, leased or transferred. (d) Street Acceptance. Where streets are to be dedicated to public use, upon approval of all improvements by the City Engineer, the developer shall file an abstract, certificate of title, guarantee of title or title insurance in the amount of at least $1,000 with the Law Director showing the title to the street(s) in the subdi- vision to be good in the City for street purposes and to be free and clear of all encumbrances whatsoever. The plat shall then be presented to Council for acceptance and confirmation of the dedi- cation of such street(s). (e) Recording. The approved plat shall be filed and recorded in the offices of the County Auditor and County Recorder by an authorized representative of the City within thirty days after final review. (f) Fees. A review and recording fee of $300.00 shall be deposited with the City. No application will be processed until this fee is received by the City. 1129.05 PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE BONDS (a) If some improvements are not completed, the City Engineer, in his sole discretion, may require a performance bond equal to the total cost of the improvements to be completed. Such bond shall set forth the City as the beneficiary and shall be issued by a reputa- ble and solvent bonding company, licensed to do business in Ohio and shall be deposited with the City Engineer and retained by the City until all improvements are constructed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. (b) After the improvements are completed, and accepted by the City Engineer, the developer shall provide the City with a two-year maintenance bond of at least ten percent of the approved estimated cost of construction. Acceptance of the street dedication shall not affect the maintenance bond. The developer shall complete the construction or repairs of all improvements within two years from the date of permission to proceed. Otherwise, the City shall have the right to use the performance bond money to complete the im- provements. The aforesaid two year period may be extended by Council for good cause.
