Summary Explanation and Background:
The Hickory Ridge, Phase 2 subdivision plat is located on the west side of U.S. Highway 1, north of Pam Lem Street in Sharpes. The proposed subdivision contains 47 single family lots on 10.199 acres.
The Hickory Ridge, Phase 2 subdivision plat received approval of its preliminary plat and final engineering plans on December 8, 2017, and final plat and contract approval on February 9, 2021. The developer posted a Surety Performance Bond for guarantee of the completion of the infrastructure improvements according to the approved plans.
Per Section 62-2809(b)(2), “Construction after final plat recordation: ...the applicant shall provide security required in Section 62-2844 for the performance of such construction...” Section 62-2844(a) states: “An applicant shall be required to secure its performance security of the construction required under this article by a surety bond, letter of credit, savings account, certificate of deposit or execution of a tri-party escrow agreement. Such security shall not be required if a certificate of completion has been issued for all the subdivision improvements prior to final plat recordation.” Because the applicant chose to plat the subdivision prior to completion of construction, the applicant entered into Contract with the Board and posted a Surety Performance Bond to guarantee the completion of the infrastructure improvements according to the approved plans.
As of February 26, 2021, the Hickory Ridge, Phase 2 subdivision plat infrastructure improvements have been completed and we are in receipt of a two-year maintenance bond.
