[ApaIllinois] ILAPA Forum Question: Developer and required improvements

[ILAPA Editor]

We have a land developer that final platted @ 80 acres as residential homes.  The developer only put in the required improvements for the first 40 acres and bonded for the remaining.  Now their bond is coming up for renewal and they do not want to renew it. They are asking if they could record a document of notification on each lot, that the improvements are not in and they will not offer such lots for sale?  The developer has stated they do not intend to put in the improvements.

Our suggestion is to amend the final plat deleting the unimproved portion or put up the bond.

Has anyone had any similar dealings and if so, what was done?
