The application shall be made in duplicate. The Building Official, in acting on such site plan, shall be guided by the standards as set forth in § 331-120 of this chapter. On issuance of a building permit, the Building Official shall return one copy of all documents filed to the applicant.

C. 

The applicant's engineer or architect, prior to the issuance of any type of building permit for construction requiring site plan approval, shall submit to the City Engineer an estimate of the costs of all required on- and off-site infrastructure and improvements associated with such site plan approval, which estimate shall be verified by the City Engineer as adequate to cover such on- and off-site infrastructure and improvements required as part of such site plan approval. Thereupon, the applicant shall provide to the City performance bond or other security acceptable in form and amount to Corporation Counsel, in an amount and for a period of time acceptable to the City Engineer, all in accordance with Article III of the General City Law.
