(A) City responsibility. The city shall be responsible for the roads and drainage inspection on all subdivisions within the city. The city shall be notified not less than 24 hours in advance of any critical phase of development including the following:
(1) Beginning of the excavation;
(2) Preparation of the subgrade;
(3) Drainage structures/pipe installation;
(4) First lift of the DGA material;
(5) Second lift of the DGA material;
(6) Asphalt base; and
(7) Asphalt surfacing.
(B) Applicant responsibility. If the city finds that any of the required improvements have not been constructed in accordance with the approved construction standards and specifications, the applicant shall be responsible for completing the improvements to the required standards. Whenever the cost of improvements is covered by a performance surety, the applicant and the bonding company or financial institution shall be liable jointly and severally for completing said improvements according to specifications.
(C) Completion of roads. Thirty-six months after the approved installation of the asphalt binder course or after 75% of the lots have a Certificate of Occupancy, whichever is sooner, all roads included on the final plat must be completed in accordance with the City Roadway and Drainage Technical Standards appendix of these regulations, to include final asphalt surface course.
(D) Drainage facilities. Before a building permit shall be issued, all drainage facilities must be installed per the approved construction plans. Also, all areas within the limits of the final plat, if no construction is being performed, must have final site stabilization. These areas must be inspected and approved by the city.
(E) As-built plans. All applicants are required to submit "as-built" plans for all roadways and drainage structures located on site after final construction is complete. The plans must show the final design specifications for all infrastructure and must be sealed by a registered Professional Land Surveyor or Engineer licensed to practice in the State of Kentucky. A final inspection and approval of submitted as-built drawings by the city is required before any building permits will be issued and/or performance surety will be released.
(F) Protection of site and adjoining sites. During the progress of construction, the contractor shall remove all debris, unused materials, and trash from the site before the construction is completed. He shall restore the site to a well-graded appearance. Trash, man-made materials, stumps, or other debris shall not be left on site or buried onsite.
