(1) After the department has approved and accepted the development activities performed within existing right-of-way pursuant to a permit in accordance with this title, or future right-of-way pursuant to a permit in accordance with title 30 SCC, the engineer may require the permittee to provide a maintenance security guaranteeing the workmanship, materials and continued function of the completed development.

(2) Unless otherwise provided in this title, a maintenance security shall remain in effect for a period of two (2) years after final inspection and acceptance by the county of all development activities specified by the approved plans for which a performance security was required.

(3) When a permittee completes improvements to existing right-of-way pursuant to this title, or to future right-of-way and drainage facilities pursuant to title 30 SCC, the maintenance security required in accordance with SCC 13.10.108(1) and the maintenance security required in accordance with title 30 SCC for drainage facility improvements shall be combined into one maintenance security with the same start and end date. However, the maintenance security may be divided into separate securities for right-of-way and drainage improvements if special circumstances exist and approval is granted by both the engineer and the director of planning and development services.

(4) A maintenance security shall be released at the end of the time covered by the security provided that the facility is operating as required, as determined by the engineer.

(5) The amount released shall be reduced by any sum forfeited to the county as provided in SCC 13.10.116 or SCC 13.10.118, unless the total required amount of the security device has been re-established, in which case the total amount of the security device shall be released.
