(a)
The approval of the preliminary plat by the town council shall
be effective for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the
approval date, unless reviewed by the town council in light of new
information which would necessitate the revision of the preliminary
plat, such revision being subject to the same procedures as the original
preliminary plat. If a final plat for the subdivision, or portion
thereof, has not been submitted prior to the expiration of one hundred
eighty (180) days after approval, then the preliminary plat is null
and void unless the subdivider has, in writing, requested and received
an extension of time to prepare and file a final plat. Any extensions
of approval granted to a preliminary plat shall be in increments of
one hundred eighty (180) days.
(b)
If the final plat is to be submitted or completed in phases,
a schedule of submissions may be filed for acceptance by the town
council with the preliminary plat. If the town council accepts the
schedule, then the preliminary plat will remain in effect as long
as each phase of final plat submission is filed by the scheduled date.
In the event any phase is not submitted by the scheduled date, then
the preliminary plat shall be null and void in its entirety unless
the subdivider has, in writing, requested and received an extension
of time to prepare and submit a final plat. An extension of one phase
of submissions shall not automatically extend the schedule for the
remaining phases. The town council is not obligated to accept the
phased submission of final plats or grant extensions and the extension
of one phase shall not obligate the town council to grant an extension
for any other phase. Any extension granted will extend the scheduled
submission date of that phase by an increment of one hundred eighty
(180) days.
(Ordinance 2023-09 adopted 7/10/2023)
If the proposed plan of subdivision as shown by said preliminary
plat is disapproved by the commission, the application shall be returned
to the owner within fifteen (15) days after disapproval. Such disapproval
shall be final. The owner or developer may appeal directly to the
town council within thirty (30) days from the date of the disapproval
and the town council shall then consider the preliminary plat and
the commission's reasons for disapproval. However, in no event
shall the failure of the council to consider and act on the preliminary
plat within thirty (30) days of the commission's disapproval
be construed to constitute an approval of the preliminary plat. If
the council determines that the preliminary plat should be approved,
then it shall approve same in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter.
