(a) When plans are submitted to the Engineering Division by a developer for a major subdivision, one thousand dollars ($1,000) shall be deposited by the developer with the City for preliminary inspection activities, including plan review. Unless the developer submits, and Council accepts, a petition described in Section 1101.11, the developer's engineer shall furnish an itemized estimate of the cost of construction of all required improvements for the approval of the City Engineer. When the estimate is approved by the City Engineer, two thousand dollars ($2,000) or five percent (5%) of the approved estimate, whichever is greater, shall be deposited by the developer with the City for inspection and testing before Council approval, and such deposit shall be in addition to the initial deposit of one thousand dollars ($1,000) at the time of plan submission.
(b) The cost of inspection shall be calculated on the basis of the actual time expended at the current hourly rates as established and on file in the Engineering Division.
(c) If the deposit is more than the actual cost, the remainder shall be refunded. If the cost of inspection is greater than the deposit, the deficient amount shall be paid to the City by the developer before construction is permitted to continue.
