(c) In addition to the above filing fee, the Subdivider shall submit a cash bond for the cost of engineering review by the City Engineer in the amount of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) for all subdivisions. In the event minor review is required of the construction drawings, specifications and the plat, the remaining portion of the bond shall be refunded to the Subdivider. In the event major review is required by the City Engineer, and in the event greater cost than the cash bond is incurred, the Subdivider shall be billed for such additional costs.
(d) In the event that a plat is disapproved by the Planning Commission before any physical inspection has been made, then the Commission may, at is discretion, order that the developer be refunded an amount not to exceed one-half (1/2) of the filing fee.
(e) In addition to the above fee, the subdivider shall be charged a fee by the City for the cost of engineering inspection by the City Engineer for all improvements within the subdivision. When the Subdivider’s Agreement is executed, the subdivider shall deposit with the Treasurer or Finance Director an amount of money to pay for engineering inspections which is calculated as follows:
(1) For all improvements:
7% of approved total construction cost.
The cost and expense of such inspection made by the City Engineer or his authorized representative, shall be paid from such deposit upon itemized bills rendered. In the case of such expenditures exceeding such deposit, the excess shall be invoiced to the subdivider for payment. Failure to make such payment within a reasonable time on behalf of the subdivider shall constitute withholding final approval of said plat. In the case of such deposit exceeding said expenditures, the balance will be refunded to the subdivider within a reasonable time after the completion of such inspection.
