A. In accordance with the most recently adopted edition of the Town of Oro Valley Subdivision Street Standards and Policies and/or sound engineering practices, the Town Engineer shall accept for full maintenance by the Town such streets, drainage-ways and rights-of-way intended to be deeded to the public whether depicted on a recorded final plat or on an approved development plan.

B. The final recorded plats and development plans pertaining to such streets, drainage-ways and rights-of-way must have been reviewed and approved by all appropriate agencies of the Town. The approved streets, drainage-ways and rights-of-way shall become property of the Town at the time of recordation.

C. The final recorded plats and development plans pertaining to such streets, drainageways and rights-of-way must have been reviewed and approved by all appropriate agencies of the Town.

D. Improvement plans and construction details must be certified by a professional civil engineer licensed and registered in the State of Arizona. This certification must be accompanied by surveys, sketches, existing cross-sections and test borings for all streets giving the pavement material and drainage data including storm drainage analysis.

E. All street name signs, traffic control/pedestrian control signs and their appurtenant supports must conform to the Town of Oro Valley specifications or, in the case of no specifications, those of Pima County or the State of Arizona or Federal Government. In the case of such signs and posts having been installed prior to the passage of this ordinance, the Town of Oro Valley disclaims all responsibility to maintain any special signs and/or posts which are not in conformance to the appropriate specifications, the responsibility being that of the developers, their successors and/or assigns. The Town may at any time install or replace such signs and posts with standard specification signs and posts which shall thenceforth remain under Town control.

F. Prior to the release of subdivision assurances, the developer shall post a cash assurance or other assurance acceptable to the Town Engineer in an amount determined by the Town Engineer, to ensure that construction defects are repaired and an acceptable surface treatment is performed upon cessation of new home construction within the subdivision. If improvements are phased, the amount of the assurance shall be based upon the phase under construction. The cash assurance and accrued interest will be returned to the developer upon completion of repairs of deficiencies identified and a surface treatment acceptable to the Town Engineer is provided. In the event that issuance of building permits for new homes at the subdivision is discontinued for six months, or immediate repairs not performed by the developer are necessary, the Town may utilize the assurance to perform required maintenance.

G. Prior to consideration for acceptance, a letter of certification from the Professional Engineer of Record stating that all construction within the streets, drainageways and rights-of-way have been build in substantial conformance with the accepted plans and specifications and that all materials utilized are in conformance with the accepted plans and specifications, shall be furnished to the Town. Any deviations from the accepted improvement plans shall be documented in As-Built Drawings certified by a qualified registrant.

H. A complete construction history of the streets from the date of plat to the date of a request for acceptance of the street, easement, etc., including a history of maintenance, and types of maintenance treatment and dates, must be furnished.

I. The above requirements may be reduced or waived by the Town Council. In addition such other requirements as may be necessary to ensure the public safety, to reduce the economic impact of street acceptance upon the citizens of the Town may be required by the Town Council.

J. The developer, his successors or assigns shall be responsible for street sweeping until new construction activities have ceased. ((O)02-38, )
