The subdivider is also required to install public improvements in accordance with VMC §17.64.010. These improvements include, but are not limited to, grading, drainage, streets, street lighting, road signs and markings, sewer, water, and landscaping along master-planned roads, as well as any other improvements deemed necessary. All submitted plans must be prepared by a registered civil engineer and submitted to the Engineering Department for review and approval, as this review ensures compliance with City standards and the conditions of approval placed on the subdivision are met. A subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA), along with improvement security to guarantee 4 2
