This Chapter is to establish the requirements and procedures for assurances when required to ensure compliance with the completion and maintenance of MHPs, RVPs, PUDs, and PRDs. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).

Before the Building Official approves the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for an MHP, RVP, PUD, or PRD for which the Council has required site improvements, the developer or owner of the property involved will provide the City with a bond or other similar security adequate to ensure that the required site improvements will be completed before a Final Certificate of Occupancy is issued. The bond will be based on the full cost of the uncompleted required site improvements, including drainage and landscaping. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).

Before the Building Official approves the Final Certificate of Occupancy, the developer or owner will provide a bond, or other similar security, for 10% percent of the cost of the site improvements including drainage which will be adequate to ensure the maintenance of the site improvements for one (1) year after the site improvements are completed; provided, however, that a prorated security to ensure the maintenance of landscaping improvements will be retained for two (2) years after the landscaping improvements are completed. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).

The Director of Community Development will release the site improvement assurance only after the site improvements are complete and satisfactory, and the developer or owner has provided the required maintenance assurance. The Director of Community Development will release the maintenance assurance or portions thereof not obligated to ensure maintenance not performed at least one (1) year after the effective date of the assurance, except in the case of a landscaping assurance which will be two (2) years. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).

The Director of Community Development will consult with the City Attorney and Director of Public Works to determine the amount of the assurance, time limits, alternate acceptable assurances, release of portions of assurances on completion of phases of work, additional assurances for extensions of time, and related matters. Assurances will be kept in the custody of the Director of Finance and Administrative Services. (Ord. 25-08 §1 (Att. A), 2025; Ord. 87-9 §1, 1987).
