1. An applicant shall file with the City: a copy of the complete final plat application, fees, and one (1) electronic full-size PDF copy, and three full-sized copies of the final plat with data as required in this section. After all City comments are addressed by the applicant, and prior to any Council consideration of the plat, the applicant shall submit one (1) electronic full-size PDF copy and three full-sized copies to the City.
2. As conditions precedent to accepting a final plat application, the subdivider shall: 1) construct City required improvements according to the "Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction" and the Middleton Supplement to the Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction in effect at the time the application to construct infrastructure is accepted by the City, and 2) the City accepts the completion packet described in the Middleton Supplement.

The City Council may accept an irrevocable letter of credit, cashier’s check or other bond guarantee in the amount of two hundred percent (200%) of the estimated costs to ensure completion of only landscaping, irrigation system, and fencing improvements in the event that inclement weather precludes the successful installation of said improvements. A bonded improvement must be completed within twelve (12) months of the approval of the final plat, and the bond will not be released until the improvement is completed and approved by the City. Failure to complete the improvement within said time frame shall give the City the authority, at its sole discretion, to exercise the bond and complete the improvement with funds derived therefrom.
