[Amended 5-6-2019 by L.L.
No. 5-2019]
The authority to approve plats in the Village
of Flower Hill has been vested by the Board of Trustees.
[Amended 5-6-2019 by L.L.
No. 5-2019]
An application for the approval of a plat shall
be made by filing with the Board of Trustees a petition and the plat
proposed for approval, together with any other map or maps of the
property within or adjoining the property within the plat, as may
be required by the Board of Trustees.
The petition must be executed by the owner or
owners of the fee of the property and shall have annexed to it a schedule
of specifications showing:
A.
Type of pavement and curb or gutter to be laid on
the streets shown on the plat. (The Village Clerk or Village Clerk-Treasurer
shall be consulted for the specifications which will be required.)
B.
Specifications of materials to be used and methods
to be adopted in the construction of the pavement and curbs or gutters,
including drains and underground pipes. (The Village Clerk or Village
Clerk-Treasurer should be consulted for the specifications which will
be required.)
C.
The grades of the streets showing the courses and
disposition of surface waters and the location of drains. (This may
be shown on a contour map or on the plat.)
D.
Plantings to be made on shoulders of streets and in
parks.
The plat must show by a diagram or notes thereon:
A.
The location of all streets within the property by
metes and bounds with relation to other streets or boundary lines
of the property.
B.
The grades of the proposed streets showing the course
and disposition of surface waters and drains. (This may be shown by
an accompanying map.)
C.
The location of sufficient monuments to adequately
define the course of the streets.
D.
Location of lines of the utilities existing and as
proposed. Electric and telephone pole lines shall be along the rear
lot lines insofar as feasible.
E.
The location and size of any park and the manner in
which it is to be improved.
A.
The application must be accompanied by an offer to
dedicate to the Village all streets within the platted property over
which it is intended the public shall have a right-of-way. The offer
of dedication must be executed by the owner of the fee and directed
to the Board of Trustees. The offer of dedication shall obligate the
owner of the fee to furnish, at the time of dedication, a title policy
covering the bed of the streets in favor of the Village.
B.
A performance bond in an amount to be determined by
the Board of Trustees shall be required to ensure completion of all
required street and drainage improvements within two years.
[Amended 5-6-2019 by L.L.
No. 5-2019]
C.
When the improvements covered by the performance bond
and the Board of Trustees resolution have been completed and certified
as satisfactory by the Village Engineer, the contractor or developer
shall post a maintenance bond in an amount not less than 10% of the
amount of the performance bond, to secure the proper maintenance and
repair of said improvements for an additional year. This shall be
done as a condition precedent to the release of the original performance
bond.
[Amended 5-6-2019 by L.L.
No. 5-2019]
D.
A per-lot fee shall be paid to the Village in accordance with Chapter A243, Fees, Charges and Deposits.

All underground utilities and drains must be installed
prior to final paving of streets.
F.
The applicant shall file with the Board of Trustees
either the written consents of the owners of all properties situate
within 300 feet of the applicant's property line or, in lieu thereof,
written proof that notice has been sent to each such property owner
by registered or certified mail, which notice shall include the date
of the public hearing on the application, the identification of the
subject property and a statement of the subdivision requested. The
failure to provide such notice shall be sufficient grounds to adjourn
the public hearing, and the additional costs incurred thereby shall
be chargeable to the applicant, to be paid prior to the conduct of
the adjourned date of the public hearing.
