(A) Major subdivisions.
(1) The improvements for subdivisions shall be completed by the subdivider within 12 months, or such later time as approved by the County Engineer, not to exceed 36 months, from the recording of the final map, unless an additional extension is granted by the Board of Supervisors.
(2) Should the subdivider fail to complete the improvements within the specified time, the county may, by resolution of the Board of Supervisors and at its option, cause any or all uncompleted improvements to be completed and the parties executing the security or securities shall be firmly bound for the payment of all necessary costs.
(B) Minor subdivisions. The completion of improvements for minor subdivisions recorded by parcel map shall not be required until a permit or other grant of approval for development of any parcel within the subdivision is issued. Completion of the improvements may be required prior to the time of issuance of a permit or other developmental approval when the completion of the improvements is found by the Planning Commission to be necessary for public health and safety or for the orderly development of the surrounding area.
(C) Extensions.
(1) The completion date may be extended by the County Engineer for subdivisions, major or minor, upon written request by the subdivider and the submittal of adequate evidence to justify the extension. The request shall be made not less than 30 days prior to expiration of the subdivision improvement agreement.
(2) The subdivider shall enter into an improvement agreement extension with the county. The agreement shall be prepared by the County Engineer, approved as to form by the County Counsel, executed by the subdivider and surety and transmitted to the County Engineer for consideration. If approved, the County Engineer shall execute the agreement on behalf of the county.
(3) In consideration of an improvement agreement extension, the following may be required:
(a) Revised improvement plans to provide for current design and construction standards when required by the County Engineer;
(b) Revised improvement construction estimates to reflect current improvement costs as approved by the County Engineer;
(c) Increased improvement securities in accordance with revised construction estimates; and
(d) Increased inspection fees reflecting current construction costs.
(4) The County Engineer may impose additional requirements as the County Engineer deems necessary as a condition to approving any time extension for the completion of subdivision improvements.
