[Amended 1-21-1988 by Ord. No. 76-19]
A. One master reproducible of stable base material (mylar) of the final
plat along with supplemental material shall be furnished to the Planning
and Zoning Commission by the subdivider. The final plat shall substantially
conform to the preliminary plat as approved, including any modifications
and conditions specified. It may constitute only that part of the
approved preliminary plat which the subdivider proposes to record
and develop at the time; provided, however, that such part conforms
to all requirements of these regulations, and provided further that
the Planning and Zoning Commission may require the subdivider to include
or exclude whatever part of the preliminary plat it deems necessary
for orderly development. The final plat must include signatures of
the Utility Committee.
B. Application for approval of final plat shall be submitted, in writing,
to the City Manager not less than 15 working days prior to the day
of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting at which it is to be
considered. The subdivider or his representative must make the presentation
at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and also before the
City Council.
C. The Planning and Zoning Commission will either approve or disapprove
or defer to a later date the final plat at their meeting that it is
to be considered. If the final plat is disapproved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission, the reasons for disapproval shall be referenced
and attached to two copies of the final plat, and such action shall
be dated and verified by the signatures of the Chairman and Secretary
of the Planning and Zoning Commission. One verified copy shall be
returned to the subdivider and the other shall become a part of the
files of the Planning and Zoning Commission. If the final plat is
approved, the signatures of the Chairman and Secretary shall be affixed
to the master plat. The City Manager shall draft the resolution for
the subdivision and place it on the agenda of the City Council for
its consideration. The City Manager shall be responsible for obtaining
the necessary signatures of City officials after approval by the City
Council.
D. One copy of the signed master plat shall be maintained on file by
the City Manager or his/her designee. No building permits shall be
issued until it has been filed and recorded at the County Clerk's
Office.
E. It shall be the City's responsibility to file and record with
the County Clerk the final plat, at the expense of the subdivider,
when the subdivision is within the City limits. If the subdivision
lies outside the City limits, but within the planning and platting
jurisdiction of the City, signatures and approval of the County Commission
are also required, and will be obtained by the subdivider.
F. A development agreement between the subdivider and the City shall
be signed and executed before any construction begins. The agreement
shall set forth a schedule of improvements listing the improvements
required and a time schedule for these improvements. A security shall
be posted as a suitable guarantee to insure compliance with City development
requirements. If a cash security is offered, it shall be placed in
an interest-bearing account and refunded upon completion and City
acceptance of scheduled improvements. If a property bond is offered,
a deed to the City shall be executed before any construction begins.
