(a) 
Pre-application Conference.
A property owner or applicant may request a pre-application conference with the Administrative Official for purposes of identifying requirements that are applicable to a proposed plat. This conference between a developer and City staff is intended to be of mutual benefit to the developer and the community by determining the suitability and type of development of a tract of land. This step also involves considerable planning which precedes actual preparation of the preliminary plat. The request shall be made in writing on a form prepared by the Administrative Official and shall state that any proposed development concept discussed at the pre-application conference is not intended as a plan for development or application for plat approval. The Administrative Official shall not process a plan or plat unless the applicant submits a complete plat application.
(b) 
Application.
An applicant shall submit a written plat application to the Administrative Official on forms prepared by the City, together with the proper plat document as required in this Exhibit A of Chapter 10 "Subdivisions," of the Code of Ordinances, and payment of the filings fees required at the time of submittal. The owner, applicant, or other authorized agent shall sign the application. Proof of agency shall be submitted by affidavit signed by all owners. The City may require evidence of fee simple title to the property.
(c) 
Preparation and Reproductions.
Each plat shall be prepared by an engineer or surveyor, trained and experienced in subdivision design. The City requires blueprints and mylars for all submittals. The applicant shall also provide final plats in .pdf or autocad format. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to verify the number of prints and mylars required for all submittals.
(d) 
Fees.
In addition to the payment of filing fees at the time a plat application is submitted, the applicant shall consent in the application to be responsible for payment of legal and engineering and any other professional fees incurred by the City in connection with the processing of the application. Approval of a final plat, minor plat or amending plat shall be conditioned upon the applicant paying these fees or giving security for these fees, such as posting a deposit or bond, if these fees have not already been paid.
(Ordinance 2014-01 adopted 1/23/2014; Ordinance 2023-16 adopted 10/26/2023)
(a) 
Generally.
Every plat application shall be subject to a determination of completeness by the Administrative Official.
(b) 
Requirements.
No plat application shall be deemed complete and accepted for processing unless the Administrative Official determines it is complete and it is accompanied by all documents required by section 4.01(b).
(c) 
Proper Zoning Required.
The City Council shall not approve a plat which does not comply with the zoning requirements. If a zoning change is contemplated for the property, the zoning change must be completed, including any necessary relief or action from the board of adjustment, before the approval of a preliminary plat of the property.
(d) 
Substantive Requirements.
A determination of completeness shall not constitute a determination of compliance with the substantive requirements of this Ordinance.
(e) 
Determination.
Not later than the tenth business day after the date a plat application is submitted, the Administrative Official shall make a determination whether the application constitutes a complete application. This shall include a determination that all information and documents required by this Ordinance or other applicable ordinances have been submitted. A determination that the application is incomplete shall be mailed to the applicant within such time period by United States Mail at the address listed on the application or delivered personally to the applicant. The determination shall specify the documents or other information needed to complete the application and shall state that the application will expire if the documents or other information is not submitted within forty-five (45) days after the date the application was submitted.
(f) 
Complete Application.
A plat application shall be deemed complete and accepted for processing on the eleventh (11th) business day after the application has been submitted, if the applicant has not otherwise been notified that the application is incomplete. For purposes of this section, the applicant shall be deemed to have been notified if the City has mailed a copy of the determination as provided in subsection (e).
(g) 
Incomplete Application.
The processing of an application by any City employee prior to the time the application is determined to be complete shall not be binding on the City as the official acceptance of the application for processing. The incompleteness of an application shall be grounds for disapproval of the application regardless of whether a determination of incompleteness was mailed to the applicant.
(h) 
Expiration of Application.
A plat application shall be deemed to expire on the forty-fifth (45th) day after the application is submitted to the Administrative Official if the applicant fails to provide documents or other information necessary to meet the requirements of this Ordinance as specified in the determination provided to the applicant to make the application complete.
(i) 
Denial of Application.
No vested rights accrue solely from the submitting of an application that subsequently expires pursuant to this section, or from the submitting of a complete application that is subsequently disapproved."
(Ordinance 2014-01 adopted 1/23/2014; Ordinance 2023-16 adopted 10/26/2023)
(a) 
Applicability.
A preliminary plat must be prepared and approved for all subdivisions within the corporate limits of the City which do not meet the requirements for a minor plat or amending plat.

(b) 
Submission.
The developer shall prepare and submit copies of the preliminary plat, an application form, and the required filing fees. An application lacking required documentation or information will not be accepted by the City and shall be returned to the applicant as provided by Section 4.02.
(c) 
Phasing.
The preliminary plat shall be submitted on the entire tract proposed to be subdivided, regardless of whether the applicant intends to final plat only a portion of the tract. Any phasing must be shown on the preliminary plat. Any portion of a final plat that developed in sections or phases must correspond to the sections or phases on the preliminary plat. In the event the developer chooses to submit a final plat that does not agree with the phasing plan contained on an approved preliminary plat, the preliminary plat must be resubmitted with amended phasing indicated.

(Ordinance 2014-01 adopted 1/23/2014; Ordinance 2023-16 adopted 10/26/2023)
When a final plat deviates substantially from the approved preliminary plat, the applicant must obtain approval of a revised preliminary plat prior to the submission of a final plat. If an owner proposes substantive changes to a preliminary plat after the City Council has approved it, or a revised preliminary plat shall be prepared, processed and approved before preparation of the final plat.
(Ordinance 2014-01 adopted 1/23/2014)
(a) 
Purpose.
The purpose of a final plat is to assure that the division or development of the land subject to the plat is consistent with all standards of this Ordinance regulations and all other applicable ordinances, that public improvements to serve the subdivision or development have been installed and accepted by the City or that provision for such installation has been made.
(b) 
Applicability.
Approval of a final plat shall be required prior to any nonexempt subdivision of land and prior to any site preparation or grading activities for a lot or tract of land that requires installation of public improvements on or adjacent thereto. A final plat application shall not be required for any land division that may be approved through the minor plat procedures.
(c) 
Effect.
Approval of a final plat authorizes the Administrative Official to record the plat upon completion of public improvements or posting of security, and authorizes the subdivider to install any public improvements under approved construction plans.
(d) 
Application.
After obtaining approval of a preliminary plat, the applicant may submit a final plat application. The final plat application shall include a completed application, a final plat, and all required fees.
(e) 
Phases.
A final plat may include all or only a portion of the area of the approved preliminary plat. If a final plat is approved in sections or phases, each final plat of each section is to carry the name of the entire subdivision, but is to be distinguished from each other section by a distinguishing letter, number or subtitle designating the Phase. Block numbers shall run consecutively throughout the entire subdivision, even though such subdivision may be finally approved in sections.
