B. Street Grade: The full dedicated width of all streets shall be brought to the approximate elevation of the curbs constructed, and in no case below or more than one foot (1') above the top of the curb, in order to facilitate installation of sidewalks.
C. Maintenance Of Streets; Bond Requirements: As a condition to the acceptance of any subdivision, the person presenting said subdivision for acceptance shall agree to maintain the streets in said subdivision for a period of two (2) years from the date of acceptance of the plat; and before the acceptance of said subdivision by the village, said person shall post with the village a good and sufficient bond to assure maintenance of the streets for a period of two (2) years from the time of acceptance and to ensure the compliance of said person with all provisions of this chapter, and shall be subject to any charges by the village for the performance of the work by the village to be performed by the subdivider herein. Said bond may, at the option of the subdivider, be a cash bond, surety company bond or personal bond. In the event either a cash or surety company bond shall be given, the same shall be in a penal amount one and one-half (11/2) times the basic amount required, which amount shall be determined by the village board upon recommendation of the village engineer, and in the event a personal bond shall be given, the same shall be in an amount double the basic amount required and shall be signed by the subdivider with two (2) sureties owning real estate located in Mason and Logan Counties, Illinois, and subject to the approval of the village board. After the subdivider has substantially performed the obligations of said bond, the amount of the bond may be reduced proportionately by endorsement thereon upon written request being made to the village board asking for said reduction, but the bond will not be canceled in its entirety until complete performance has been made.
