(A) This section is not applicable to PUD zoned areas.
(B) Upon approval of a preliminary plat, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall certify one copy thereof to the Council for approval or disapproval. Failure of Council to approve or disapprove the preliminary plat at the next regular meeting occurring more than ten days following certification of the plat to Council shall be deemed to constitute approval of the preliminary plat by Council, unless a further delay is agreed to by the subdivider. Approval by Council of the preliminary plat shall constitute approval of the layout of the streets and public grounds shown thereon, and shall evidence Council's intention to accept the dedication of the same upon approval by the Commission of the final plat. The approval of the preliminary plat shall be effective for a maximum period of 24 months unless an extension is granted by the Commission.
(C) The approval of the preliminary plat does not constitute an acceptance of the subdivision, but merely authorizes the developer to proceed with work of the final plat. One copy of the approved preliminary plat signed by the secretary of the Planning and Zoning Commission, attesting to such approval, and the Mayor, shall be retained in the office of the Clerk-Treasurer. One signed copy shall be given to the subdivider and one copy to the Municipal Engineer.
(D) Receipt of such signed copy is authorization for the subdivider to proceed with the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the minimum improvements required in the subdivision regulations, and with the preparation of the final plat. Prior to the construction of any improvements required or to the submission of any bond, the subdivider shall furnish to Council all plans, information and data necessary for such improvements. These plans shall be examined by Council and will be approved if in accordance with the requirements of the subdivision regulations. Following this approval, construction can be started or the amount of a bond determined, as provided.

(1) The owner shall have completed or shall have agreed in writing to complete, all public improvements required by the final development plan within one year from the date of approval of the final plat or such extension of time as may be granted by Council and shall have agreed that he will maintain such public improvements for a period of one year after their acceptance by the municipality.
(2) The owner has agreed that all construction work and materials used in connection with public improvements in the area platted will conform to the requirements of the municipality and be installed under the Municipal Engineer's general supervision; that he will notify the Municipal Engineer in writing three days or more before any construction has begun on such improvements in order to permit inspection; that he will hold the municipality free and harmless from any and all claims for damages of every nature arising or growing out of the construction of such improvements, and shall defend, at his cost and expense, any suit or action brought against the municipality by reason thereof, until the improvement has been accepted by the municipality; that in the event of any violation of, or noncompliance with, any of the provisions and stipulations of the agreement, the municipality shall have the right to stop the work forthwith and complete or cause the completion of such improvements according to the approved plat and agreement and that in such event the owner shall reimburse the municipality for any and all expenses incurred thereby.
(3) The owner has furnished a subdivision bond and a maintenance bond payable to the municipality with sureties acceptable to Council conditioned upon performance by the owner of the agreement, or in lieu of such bonds, some other security satisfactory to Council. The amount of the subdivision bond shall be equal to the estimated costs of constructing the improvements.

(4) The subdivider may deposit in a bank or savings and loan association in Franklin County, Ohio, the sum not less than the total estimated improvement cost, to be held in escrow to guarantee the satisfactory completion of such improvements within the required time, the form of the escrow to be subject to the approval of the Solicitor and which agreement may provide for the making of payments from such funds from time to time upon certificates of the Municipal Engineer that the balance remaining after such payments will, in his opinion, be adequate to pay the remaining costs of the improvements.
(5) The subdivider may deposit with the municipality a certified check, in the amount of the total estimated improvement cost, to be held in escrow until the satisfactory completion of construction, unless there be a default in the completion of such improvements, in which event the check may be cashed by the Clerk-Treasurer and the proceeds thereof used to complete the improvements, to pay claims connected therewith for which the subdivider may be liable, or to cure any other default of the subdivider connected with the making of such improvements.
