(a)
A preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision at a scale not smaller
than two hundred (200) feet to the inch shall first be submitted to
the city planning commission for approval before the preparation of
the final plat. Six (6) copies of such plat must be filed in the office
of the city secretary at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting
at which the plat is to be considered.
(b)
Prior to the planning commission’s consideration of a preliminary
plat, the city engineer shall review the same and transmit a copy
of the proposed plat to the city manager for review and recommendation
in relation to specific service problems.
(c)
The planning commission shall render a decision on the preliminary
plat within thirty (30) days after its submission to such commission
unless such time is extended by agreement of the subdivider or his
agent. Such decision may consist of approval, disapproval, or conditional
approval. Conditional approval shall be considered to be the approval
of a plat or replat subject to conformity with prescribed conditions,
but shall be deemed to be a disapproval of such plat or replat until
such conditions are complied with. All objections made to the preliminary
plat, or conditions imposed, shall be furnished to the subdivider
in writing. If no decision is rendered by the commission within a
thirty-day period described above or such longer period as may have
been agreed upon, the preliminary plat, as submitted, shall be deemed
to be approved.
(d)
Approval of the preliminary plat shall be deemed an expression of
approval of the layout only.
(1977 Code, sec. 13-221)
(a)
Two copies of the final plat shall be submitted to the planning commission
within six (6) months of date of approval of the preliminary plat,
or such approval shall became null and void unless an extension of
time is applied for and granted by the planning commission.
(b)
Upon approval of the final plat, the plat shall be submitted to the
city council for approval. After approval by the city council, one
copy shall be retained in the files of the city, and one copy shall
be returned to the subdivider to be recorded in the deed records of
the county.
