(a) To insure the proper construction and installation of all improvements required by these Regulations, the developer shall execute a subdivider's agreement in a form approved by the City Law Director, the City Engineer and the Planning Commission.
(b) The agreement shall provide that all required improvements shall be constructed and installed, at the developer's expense, in compliance with the standards and specifications for each of the various types of improvements, and that such improvements will be completed within two years from the date of the approval of the preliminary plan. Such agreement shall also contain a provision whereby the developer warrants to the City of Elyria, for a period of one year from the date all improvements have been completed, that all of the subdivision improvements are constructed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the standards and specifications of the City of Elyria, and are free from defects in construction and materials. Said warranty shall survive the approval of the final or record plat by the Planning Commission, and the acceptance and recording of such plat by the City of Elyria. Any further provisions that the Planning Commission and the City Engineer deem necessary in the public interest may be added to the subdivider's agreement.
