The subdivider may choose to provide security (i.e., surety bond, letter of credit, cash deposit, or construction loan agreement) to ensure that the improvements get constructed within 12 months of plat approval, and in such case the subdivider may record the plat and sell lots therein immediately upon City Commission approval. In the alternative, the subdivider may choose to request a "conditional" final plat approval, whereby in lieu of security the subdivider has two years to construct the subdivision improvements but may not record the plat until city staff and the City Commission has certified that the improvements have been constructed to city specifications.
