A. All improvements and utility installations shall be inspected during the time of their installation under the supervision of the Board Engineer to ensure satisfactory completion. The cost of said inspection shall be the responsibility of the applicant, and he shall deposit with the Town Treasurer for placement in a special trust fund account a sum equal to 5% of the amount of the performance guaranty estimate of the cost of public improvements to be built in the subdivision to be applied to payment of inspection costs. If inspection costs exceed such fund, the subdivider shall deposit with the Town Treasurer additional sums upon notice from the Board Engineer. The inspection fee shall in no case be less than $100. The Town Treasurer shall return any balance of the inspection deposit to the subdivider upon expiration of the maintenance bond, together with the paid invoices for all expenses charged.
