Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) No final plat shall be recorded
until the subdivider has submitted and the board of county commissioners has approved one or a
combination of the following:
(a) A subdivision improvements agreement agreeing to construct any required public
improvements shown in the final plat documents, together with collateral which is sufficient, in
the judgment of said board, to make reasonable provision for the completion of said
improvements in accordance with design and time specifications; or
(b) Other agreements or contracts setting forth the plan, method, and parties responsible
for the construction of any required public improvements shown in the final plat documents
which, in the judgment of said board, will make reasonable provision for completion of said
improvements in accordance with design and time specifications.
(2) As improvements are completed, the subdivider may apply to the board of county
commissioners for a release of part or all of the collateral deposited with said board. Upon
inspection and approval, the board shall release said collateral. If the board determines that any
of such improvements are not constructed in substantial compliance with specifications, it shall
furnish the subdivider a list of specific deficiencies and shall be entitled to withhold collateral
sufficient to ensure such substantial compliance. If the board of county commissioners
determines that the subdivider will not construct any or all of the improvements in accordance
with all of the specifications, the board of county commissioners may withdraw and employ
from the deposit of collateral such funds as may be necessary to construct the improvement in
accordance with the specifications.
(3) The board of county commissioners or any purchaser of any lot, lots, tract, or tracts
of land subject to a plat restriction which is the security portion of a subdivision improvements
agreement shall have the authority to bring an action in any district court to compel the
enforcement of any subdivision improvements agreement on the sale, conveyance, or transfer of
any such lot, lots, tract, or tracts of land or of any other provision of this part 1. Such authority
shall include the right to compel rescission of any sale, conveyance, or transfer of title of any lot,
lots, tract, or tracts of land contrary to the provisions of any such restriction set forth on the plat
or in any separate recorded instrument, but any such action shall be commenced prior to the
issuance of a building permit by any county where so required or otherwise prior to
commencement of construction on any such lot, lots, tract, or tracts of land.
(4) In addition to any other remedy set forth in this part 1, the board of county
commissioners, or any purchaser of any lot, lots, tract, or tracts of land in a recorded plat, shall
have the authority to bring an action for injunctive relief to enforce any plat restriction, plat note,
plat map, or provision of a subdivision improvements agreement and for damages arising out of
failure to adhere to any such plat restriction, plat note, plat map, or provision of a subdivision
improvements agreement. Nothing in this part 1 shall require the board of county commissioners
to bring any action referred to in this subsection (4).
