When a subdivider elects to install and construct any or all of the off site improvements required herein prior to the filing of a final plat approved by the Planning Commission, the procedure shall be as follows:
(a) At the time of consideration of approval of the final plat by the Planning Commission, the subdivider shall submit a written application to the Department of Public Works indicating in specific detail the required off site improvements intended to be installed and constructed prior to filing of the final plat.
(b) The Department of Public Works shall review the request and submit a written report to the Mayor noting specific problems, if any.
(c) Subsequent to the decision of the Planning Commission that the final plat is in order and that the program for accomplishing the required off site improvements is feasible and not contrary to the public interest, the Planning Commission may approve the installation and construction of any or all required off site improvements by the subdivider prior to the filing of the final plat and as a condition in approving the final plat.
(d) In all cases where the Planning Commission approves a program of construction that requires construction of required offsite improvements prior to the filing of the final plat, the final plat, without benefit of required signatures of City officials, shall be held in escrow for the City by the City Treasurer. It shall not be released for any purpose until the approved program of construction is completed and all off site improvements are accepted by action of the Planning Commission. Following acceptance of all required improvements included in the construction program and the completion of all other commitments, if any, of the subdivider, the final plat shall be executed by the City and recorded at the Greenbrier County Courthouse.
(e) An approved program of construction under this method shall be completed within a period of one year. One year from the date of approval, the approval of any construction program which has not yet begun shall become null and void. One year from the date of approval, the approval of any construction program which is still in process shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission and they shall take action as deemed necessary.
(f) Any approved program of construction may be amended; however, such amendment shall require approval of the Planning Commission.
