A. Policy In order to protect buyers of condominiums, subdivision projects, and other property in the Town of Cleveland against purchasing property on which the site improvement work is incomplete and which may not be completed, and to protect the public at large from dangerous and undesirable conditions that result from unfinished site improvements such as erosion, flooding, and blowing dust, it is the policy of the Town of Cleveland that no plat will be approved (when a plat is required) and that no certificate of occupancy will be issued (when plats are not required) on any building project within the Town limits unless and until the site improvement work is completed or the developer of the property has provided adequate security to guarantee timely completion of the improvements.
B. Detailed Site Plans A detailed site plan showing the location and nature of drainage work, grade changes, retaining walls, and landscaping together with any trails, paths, or walkways shall be submitted to the planning commission for approval prior to issuance of an occupancy permit by the building inspector. Site improvements shall be completed pursuant to this chapter and as shown in the detailed site plan.
C. Construction According To Approved Plans No plat will be approved and no certificate of occupancy will be issued unless that project and all required site improvements have been constructed in accordance with the plans approved by the planning commission and on which the building permit is issued, except as specified in section 2-11-21 Security for Completion below.
