Such areas must also be approved by the Taos County planning and zoning commission and the Taos County board of commissioners, when located outside of the town limits.
(Ordinance 99-05 adopted 1999)
A. 
Prior to filing an application for approval of a preliminary plat, the subdivider shall confer with the code administrator to become acquainted with this title and other applicable regulations. The subdivider should then submit to the code administrator a sketch plan complying with this section in order to determine the feasibility of the subdivision plan. It is recommended that the subdivider employ a competent land planner, land surveyor or engineer to assist in the development of the proposed subdivision.
B. 
The submittal of a sketch plan does not require a formal application, fee, or the filing of a plat, but is a formal step in the subdivision approval process. Furthermore, the code administrator does not assume any responsibility for a lack of understanding of this title or any other applicable regulations on the part of the subdivider. Any advice or opinion as to the feasibility of the proposal expressed by the code administrator shall not bind the town regarding any subsequent actions of the code administrator or the commission relative to the proposal.
C. 
Within thirty (30) days from submittal, the code administrator shall inform the subdivider that the sketch plan and data, as submitted or as modified, apparently do or do not meet the objectives of this title and other applicable regulations. If the code administrator finds that the sketch plan and supplementary data do not meet the objectives of this title and other applicable regulations, then the code administrator should provide information in writing to the subdivider in order to aid the subdivider in bringing the plan into conformance.
D. 
Following review by the code administrator, the sketch plan shall be reviewed by the planning and zoning commission at a preliminary presentation, pursuant to subsection 16.12.040.5.D of this title.
(Ordinance 99-05 adopted 1999)
A. 
After review of the sketch plan has been completed, the subdivider shall prepare or cause to be prepared a preliminary plat of subdivision, together with improvement plans and other supplementary material as required by this title.
B. 
A sufficient number of copies of the preliminary plat and supplementary material and a completed application for approval of the preliminary plat shall be submitted to the code administrator not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commission meeting at which it is to be considered. The number of required copies will be determined by the code administrator.
C. 
The code administrator shall review the preliminary plat and supplementary materials submitted, for conformity thereof to this title and all other applicable regulations, and the code administrator shall provide the commission with written findings together with a recommendation that the preliminary plat be either approved, conditionally approved, or disapproved. A recommendation to conditionally approve shall contain the conditions, and a recommendation for disapproval shall contain the reasons therefor.
D. 
The subdivider shall provide public notice pursuant to subsections 16.12.040.5.H and I of this title and notify, by registered mail, return receipt requested, all owners of property located in whole or in part, within two hundred feet (200') of the parcel to be subdivided, notifying said property owners of the time and place of the public hearing at which the preliminary plat is to be considered and describing the proposed subdivision. The applicant shall further provide the code administrator with all return receipts received as proof of notice. Where a proposed subdivision faces on existing public streets, the measurement of two hundred feet (200') shall be made from points on either side of the street, excluding the street from the two hundred foot (200') measurement.
E. 
The commission shall review the preliminary plat and other material submitted in support of the application, consider the code administrator’s report and recommendations, and review negotiations with the subdivider on changes deemed advisable and the kind and extent of improvements proposed. The commission shall, within thirty-five (35) days, act on the preliminary plat as submitted or modified, unless an extension of time is applied for in writing by the subdivider and granted by the commission. If the preliminary plat is conditionally approved, the commission shall express the conditions, or if disapproved, it shall state the reasons therefor.
F. 
The action of the commission shall be noted on two (2) copies of the preliminary plat, and such action dated and verified thereon by the signature of the chairperson of the commission. Conditions, if any, shall be referenced thereon and attached thereto. One copy shall be returned to the subdivider and the other retained in the files of the code administrator.
G. 
Approval or conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval of the final plat of subdivision. Rather, approval of the preliminary plat shall be deemed as an expression of approval of the layout submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the preparation of the final plat which will be submitted for approval by the commission and for recording upon fulfillment of the requirements of these regulations and the conditions, if any, of a conditional approval of the preliminary plat.
(Ordinance 99-05 adopted 1999)
A. 
The final plat shall be presented to the commission as a continuance of the public hearing of the preliminary plat.
B. 
The subdivider shall provide public notice prior to final plat approval pursuant to subsections 16.12.040.5.H and I of this title and notify, by registered mail, return receipt requested, all owners of property located in whole or in part, within two hundred feet (200') of the parcel to be subdivided, notifying said property owners of the time and place of the public hearing at which the final plat is to be considered and describing the proposed subdivision. The applicant shall further provide the code administrator with all return receipts received as proof of notice. Where a proposed subdivision faces on existing public streets, the measurement of two hundred feet (200') shall be made from points on either side of the street, excluding the street from the two hundred foot (200') measurement.
C. 
The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved, and if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that part of the approved or conditionally approved preliminary plat which the subdivider proposes to record and develop at the time, provided, however, that the final plat and the portion of the land to be subdivided conform to all requirements of this title and all applicable town ordinances and regulations; and provided further that the commission may require the subdivider to include in or exclude from the final plat whatever part of the lands included in the preliminary plat which it deems necessary for orderly development.
D. 
An application for approval of the final plat shall be submitted in writing to the code administrator not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commission meeting at which it is to be considered. The code administrator shall also determine that all required filing and review fees have been paid in full, and that the town or the county, as the case may be, has received a proposed deed for public lands for park and recreation facilities and/or proposed acceptable private reservation. Such proposed deed or proposed private reservation shall not be recorded and shall not take effect until and unless the final plat is recorded. The code administrator shall submit written findings together with a recommendation to approve or disapprove the final plat at the same time the final plat is submitted for consideration by the commission.
E. 
The original drawing of the final plat and sufficient copies of it and all other exhibits required for approval shall be prepared as specified in section 16.24.030.6 of this chapter and shall be submitted with the application for final plat approval within twelve (12) months after approval or conditional approval of the preliminary plat. The number of copies will be determined by the code administrator. Otherwise, such preliminary plat approval or conditional approval shall become null and void unless an extension of time is applied for in writing by the subdivider and granted by the commission. If an extension of time is applied for, such application shall be submitted to the code administrator not less than seven (7) days prior to the commission meeting at which it is to be considered.
F. 
The commission shall approve or disapprove a final plat within forty-five (45) days from the date of the meeting at which it first considers such plat, which date shall be considered as the date of final submission of the final plat, unless an extension of time is applied for in writing by the subdivider and granted by the commission.
G. 
If the final plat is approved by the commission, such approval shall be recorded on the face of the original drawing of the final plat and on two (2) copies thereof and such approval shall be dated and verified thereon by the signature of the chairperson of the commission in the spaces provided, and such date and signatures shall be with black ink; or if the final plat is disapproved by the commission, the reasons for disapproval shall be referenced and attached to two (2) copies of the final plat and such action shall be dated and verified by the signature of the chairperson of the commission affixed to said copies. In either event, one of the said signed copies shall be returned to the subdivider and the other shall become part of the files of the code administrator. If a final plat is approved, the original drawing of the same shall be used in part for recordation purposes and thereafter retained in the files of the code administrator. If the final plat is disapproved, the original drawing shall be returned to the subdivider. None of the requirements of this subsection shall be modified or waived.
H. 
Final plats shall be recorded with the Taos County clerk along with any and all deeds, private reservations, easements, covenants and restrictions. Final plats shall be recorded within five (5) days after the acceptance by the town council or the Taos County commissioners as the case may be, of the public dedications, if any, shown thereon, but not until such acceptance. The acceptance of a public dedication by either the town or the county does not necessarily imply the maintenance of such dedication.
