17.20.060 Condition of Improvements Guaranteed

1. Except as found elsewhere in this section, the applicant shall warrant and guarantee that the improvements provided for herein and every part thereof will remain in good condition for a period of one (1) year following Conditional Acceptance, and agree to make all repairs to and maintain the improvements and every part thereof in good working condition during the guarantee period with no cost to the City. 2. Conditional Acceptance to begin the guarantee period may be granted by the City Engineer once all improvements required for the development have been installed, inspected and approved, all outstanding fees have been paid, and as-built drawings in a form acceptable to the City Engineer have been provided. a. The applicant, in accordance with Utah Code 10-20-807, may request a determination of acceptance or rejection of completed improvements, and the city shall respond with due diligence. 3. A special exception for Conditional Acceptance may be granted by the City Engineer if the following items are not completed: a. Street signs: Where the city is ordering and/or installing street signs, the guarantee period may begin provided the guarantee amount remains in place for such items. b. Street lighting: Where the applicant has installed all related improvements (conduit and boxes) and can provide proof of street light order, the guarantee period may begin provided the guarantee amount remains in place for such items. 4. Upon completion of all required improvements, the applicant must request in writing to the city planner a review of the project status. The planner shall refer the request to the city engineer and shall also notify all property owners in the project by mail or in person of the request and allow such owners two weeks for comments, to the planner, regarding the status of the project. The planner shall endeavor to resolve, with the applicant and city engineer, any problems received. If matters cannot be resolved, and at the discretion of the planner, the request may be referred to the City Council for resolution. Final acceptance may be granted by the City Engineer provided all required improvements have been completed, any problems addressed with the city planner and/or City Council are resolved, and improvements are judged to be in acceptable condition. The city may allow a separate escrow for special exception items as found in paragraph 3 to be established by agreement, and acceptance may then be granted on original items. 5. The applicant shall be responsible for all inspection costs. 6. As allowed in Utah Code 10-20-8074, if the city determines, based on the specifics of the applicant’s property or prior performance, that a two (2) year guarantee period is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, the city may require such two (2) year guarantee period.
