attached. The period within which required improvements must be

security and release part(s) of the amount of security equivalent to
improvements completed.

temporary improvements required by the Planning Commission and shall
maintain same for the period specified by the Planning Commission. Prior
to construction of any temporary facility or improvement, the developer
may be required to file with the Planning Commission a separate suitable
security for temporary facilities, which security shall insure that the
temporary facilities will be properly constructed, maintained and removed
(e.g. temporary cul-de sac), or converted to permanent improvements.
3.01.4 Costs of Improvements: All required improvements shall be made by the
applicant, at his expense, without reimbursement by the local government.
3.01.5 Governmental Units and Utilities: Governmental units and utilities to
which these securities and contract provisions apply may file in lieu of said
contract or security a certified resolution or ordinance or certificate from
officers or agencies authorized to act in their behalf, agreeing to comply
with the provisions of this Section.
3.01.6 Failure to Complete Improvements: In those cases where a performance
security has been posted and required improvements have not been
installed within the terms of such performance security, the Planning
Commission thereupon shall declare the security to be in default and
require that all the improvements be installed regardless of the extent of
the building development at the time the security is declared to be in
default. The procedure of this foreclosure is specified in TCA 13-3-403(b)
Enforcement.
