Failure to act. Failure of the approving authority to act within such 90 days shall constitute an approval of the preliminary plat, unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider.

Failure to act.

Any subdivider or his agent who offers or contracts to convey or conveys any subdivision, lot or parcel of land which lies in a subdivision knowing that the final plat thereof has not been recorded with the Register of Deeds may be subject to a forfeiture of not more than $500 or, in default of payment of such forfeiture, may be imprisoned in the county jail until payment thereof, but not exceeding six months, except that where the preliminary or final plat of the subdivision has been filed for approval with the Village, an offer or contract to convey may be made if that offer or contract states on its face that it is contingent upon approval of the final plat and shall be void if such plat is not approved.
F. 
Fee. All costs for Village engineering and planning consulting services, administration and inspections of the final plat and the improvements installed therein shall be paid by the subdivider. The Village may require that part or all of this fee be paid prior to granting approval of the final plat.

In lieu of the previously described procedure, the subdivider or his agent may submit the original plat directly to each of the agencies authorized to object. Each such agency shall have 20 days from the date of the submission of the original plat in which to object to the plat. Failure to act within 20 days from the date of submission shall mean that the agency has no objection to the plat, and, upon demand, it shall so certify on the face of the plat.
A. 
Approval required prior to recording. The Village Board shall approve the final plat prior to recording. The subdivider shall file a reproducible tracing 22 inches by 30 inches or acceptable substitute of the final plat with the Clerk before recording the final plat with the Register of Deeds. The Clerk shall certify to approval of the final plat only after this requirement has been met.
B. 
Recording of final plat. The subdivider shall file the original of the final plat with the Register of Deeds within 12 months after the date of the last approval of the plat and within 36 months after the first approval.

Stats., and may assess the cost thereof as provided in such section or to the subdivider. The subdivider shall file a reproducible tracing with the Village after approval has been given.
