The Director of Transportation shall refer a final plat to the Director who shall review the final plat for substantial conformance to the approved preliminary plat, including any requirements or conditions imposed by the Hearing Examiner, and to the standards established by chapter 58.17 RCW and this Chapter 23.22. The Director shall within ten days furnish the Director of Transportation with a report regarding the conformance of the plat. The Director of Transportation shall review the final plat for the following: A. That the proposed final plat bears the certificates and statements of approval required by state law and this Chapter 23.22; B. That a title insurance report furnished by the subdivider confirms the title of the land and the proposed subdivision is vested in the name of the owners whose signatures appear on the plat certificate; C. If use of multiple final plats is not authorized in the preliminary plat approval pursuant to subsection 23.22.054.B, that the facilities and improvements required to be provided by the subdivider have been completed, or alternatively, except as otherwise provided in subsection 23.22.070.E, that the subdivider will provide a bond in a form approved by the City Attorney and in an amount commensurate with the cost of improvements remaining to be completed, conditioned upon the construction and installation of improvements within two years of final approval of the plat; D. If use of multiple final plats is authorized in the preliminary plat approval pursuant to subsection 23.22.054.B, that the facilities and improvements required by the preliminary plat approval as conditions to final plat approval have been completed, or that the subdivider will provide a bond or other security in a form approved by the City Attorney and in an amount commensurate with the cost of improvements remaining to be completed, conditioned upon the construction and installation of improvements within a time period to be fixed by the Hearing Examiner; E. In the case of any final plat of property in the MPC-YT zone, whether or not multiple final plats are used, if there are facilities and improvements required by the preliminary plat approval as conditions to development of all or part of the subdivided property, but not as conditions to final plat approval, that have not been completed at the time final plat approval is sought and the subdivider will not provide a bond or other security for completion of those improvements as set forth in subsections 23.22.070.C and 23.22.070.D, then: 1. the subdivider has submitted to the Director of Transportation and the Director of Transportation and the Director of Transportation has approved a phasing plan that designates the particular facilities and improvements that must be completed as conditions to specified types or levels of development within particular areas of the final plat, consistent with the preliminary plat approval; and 2. each owner of any property where development is to be conditioned under the phasing plan has executed and delivered in recordable form a covenant against that property in favor of the City, to be recorded upon final plat approval, by which the owner agrees, on behalf of itself and its successors in interest and assigns, to construct the facilities and improvements required by the preliminary plat approval as conditions related to development on that property and not to construct any structure unless the facilities and improvements required by the preliminary plat approval have been completed to the extent required for such structure by the phasing plan approved by the Director of Transportation pursuant to subsection 23.22.070.E.1; F. That the map is technically correct and accurate as certified by the registered land surveyor responsible for the plat.
