and all terms of this Agreement have been faithfully kept by Applicant.

Statement of Substantial Compliance, the applicant(s) may request in writing that the
County Engineer inspect its streets and recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners partially approve them. Not sooner than nine months after partial approval,
the County Engineer shall, upon request by the applicant, inspect the subject streets, and
notify the applicant(s) of any deficiencies. The County Engineer shall reinspect the streets

cost estimates are updated and the development plans are revised to comply with
all current County standards, policies and regulations. The improvements shall be
completed within one (1) year after the Final Plat approval (not one year after
acceptable collateral is submitted) unless the applicant(s) requests that this
Agreement be renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration and further
provides that cost estimates for the remaining improvements are updated and
collateral is provided in the amount of 100% of the value of the improvements

improvements are made.

for Release of Collateral.
