cost (verified against city publicly bid unit prices, where such are available) of the installation of required improvements not yet
completed. The method of security must be valid for a period of not less than twelve (12) months, eighteen (18) months for
subdivision improvements.
In any event, all required improvements shall be completed within nine (9) months of occupancy for site development and

CERTIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLED IMPROVEMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT REVIEW
Following submittal, this application is reviewed by City staff to determine if the proposed improvements to be guaranteed
are appropriate in relation to the improvements installed to date and that the improvements to be guaranteed have been
estimated based upon current area construction/installation costs.
For all improvements installed to date, the property owner and applicant are required to provide certifications from their
appropriate project professionals (architect, civil engineer, landscape professional, lighting engineer, etc.) that the private
and public improvements have been installed according to the improved plans and specifications. If these certifications are
not provided, it may delay the review of this application. These certifications can be provided on dated letterhead by each
professional. Contact us for more information if you are unfamiliar with this process.
