 2.  The title to the benefitting properties (being the lots in the SWD Subdivision) shall be subject to the easement described above until either (a) the City approves, and the Developer records with the Clerk and Recorder, a plat which dedicates an acceptable alternate drainage ease­ment/facility; or (b) the owner's association accepts such an alternate dedication by separate instrument as approved by the Director of Community Development.

 

 3.  The vacation described herein shall not be effective unless the dedication of a replacement drainage facility, described above, is offered to and accepted by a duly formed owner's association (for permanent maintenance and operation), on or before June 1, 1996, as determined by the Director of Community Development.

 

 4.  The vacation described herein shall not be effective until, in addition to the other requirements set forth, the City has accepted a Development Improvements guarantee which provides security for the construction of the relocated easement and new facilities.
