[CC 1985 § 25-30; 1977 Code; Ord. No. 650, 5-1-2000]
A. Whenever the Commission adopts the Plan
for the City of St. James or any part thereof, no street, public way,
or other public facilities, or no public utility, whether publicly
or privately owned, and the location, extent and character thereof
having been included in the recommendations and proposals of the Plan
or portions thereof, shall be constructed or authorized in the said
City until the location, extent and character thereof has been submitted
to and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
1.
In case of disapproval, the Commission
shall communicate its reasons to the City Council, and such Council,
by vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of its entire membership,
may overrule the disapproval and, upon the overruling, the Council
may proceed, except that if the public facility or utility is one
the authorization or financing of which does not fall within the province
of the Council, then the submission to the Planning and Zoning Commission
shall be by the municipal board having jurisdiction, and the Planning
and Zoning Commission's disapproval may be overruled by that board
by a vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of its entire membership.
2.
The acceptance, widening, removal,
extension, relocation, narrowing, vacation, abandonment, change of
use, acquisition of land for, sale or lease of any street or other
public facility is subject to similar submission and approval, and
the failure to approve may be similarly overruled. The failure of
the Commission to act within sixty (60) days after the date of official
submission to it shall be deemed approval.
3.
Anyone submitting a request to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and a publishing charge is incurred,
it shall be required that the submitter will issue a check in the
amount of eighty dollars ($80.00) made out to the St. James Leader
Journal for such publication.
B. Upon adoption of a major street plan and
subdivision regulations, the said City of St. James shall not accept,
lay out, open, improve, grade, pave or light any street, lay or authorize
the laying of water mains, sewers, connections or other utilities
in any street within such City unless the street has received the
legal status of a public street prior to the adoption of a City Plan,
or unless the street corresponds in its location and lines with a
street shown on a subdivision plat approved by the City Council or
City Planning and Zoning Commission or on a street plan made by and
adopted by the Commission.
1.
The City Council may locate and construct
or may accept any other street if the ordinance or other measure for
the location and construction or for the acceptance is first submitted
to the Commission for its approval and is approved by the Commission
or, if disapproved by the Commission, is passed by the affirmative
vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire membership of
the City Council.
[CC 1985 § 25-31; 1977 Code]
A. Within sixty (60) days after the submission
of a plat to the Commission, the Commission shall approve or disapprove
the plat; otherwise the plat is deemed approved by the Commission,
except that the Commission, with the consent of the applicant for
the approval, may extend the sixty-day period. The grounds of disapproval
of any plat by the Commission shall be made a matter of record.
B. The approval of a plat by the Commission
does not constitute or effect an acceptance by the City of St. James
or public of the dedication to public use of any street or other ground
shown upon the plat.

400 of the St. James City Code.
4. Approval. After approval of a plat by the Administrative Official
the plat and ordinance shall be presented to City Council for final
approval.
