stable matte film sheets, 24 inches wide and 36 inches long with 1½-inch
margin on the left side of the sheet, and margins of not less than
three-fourths inch on the other three sides. The plat shall be drawn
at a scale of 100 feet to one inch or larger. Where more than one

or recorded streets, alleys, reservations, easements, or other public
rights-of-way within the subdivision, intersecting or contiguous with
its boundary or forming such boundary, with accurate dimensions, bearing
or deflecting angles and radii, area, and central angle, degree of
curvature, tangent distance and length of all curves where appropriate.
(2) The exact location, dimensions, description and name of all proposed
streets, alleys, drainage structures, parks, other public areas, reservations,
easements or other rights-of-way, blocks, lots, and other sites within
the subdivision with accurate dimensions, bearing or deflecting angles
and radii, area, and central angles, degree of curvature, tangent
distance and length of all curves where appropriate.
(f) When
filed, the final plat shall be accompanied by the following data.
All plans and engineering calculations shall bear the seal and signature
of an engineer.

a. Six copies of the proposed plat, indicating two-foot contours based
on city datum. All street widths and grades shall be indicated on
the plat, and runoff figures shall be indicated on the outlet and
inlet side of all drainage ditches and storm sewers, and at all points
in the street at changes of grade or where the water enters another
street or storm sewer or drainage ditch. Drainage easements shall
be indicated.
b. A general location map of the subdivision showing the entire watershed
(a United States Geological Survey quadrangle is satisfactory).
c. Calculations showing the anticipated stormwater flow, including watershed
area, percent runoff, and time of concentration. When a drainage ditch
or storm sewer is proposed, calculations shall be submitted showing
basis for design.
d. When a drainage channel or storm sewer is proposed, complete plans,
profiles, and specifications shall be submitted, showing complete
construction details.
e. When conditions upstream or downstream from a proposed channel or
storm sewer do not permit maximum design flow, high water marks based
on 25-year frequency, shall be indicated based on existing conditions.
(5) Other. Final plat shall also include:
a. Owner's acknowledgment and dedications.
b. Space for city planning commission approval.
c. Certification of the surveyor responsible for surveying the subdivision
area, attesting to its accuracy.

(Ordinance 83-150-3, § 3(C)(1),
adopted 7/26/1983)
(a) If
desired by the subdivider and approved by the planning commission,
the final plat may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary
plat which he proposes to record and develop. However, such portion
shall conform to all the requirements of this article and the portion
or portions of the subdivision for which the final plat is drawn and
submitted for approval shall be in successive order of development
as exhibited on the previously approved preliminary master plat. All
street, water, sewer and storm drainage facilities shown on the final
plat shall be constructed in their entirety or acceptable surety provided
before acceptance by the city and before such final plat is recorded
in the office of the county clerk.
(b) As
soon as practical after the subdivider is notified of the approval
of the preliminary plat, his engineer shall submit to the planning
commission at an official meeting the final plat of the subdivision
or portion thereof.
(c) No
final plat shall be considered unless a preliminary plat has first
been submitted and approved. However, if a preliminary plat has been
duly approved and the subdivider wishes to increase the size of the
lots by combining two or more lots or by combining one lot with a
portion of the adjacent lot in such manner that no portion of a lot
remains smaller than the original lots, no additional preliminary
plat will be necessary.
(d) A final
plat of an approved preliminary plat or a portion thereof shall be
submitted to the planning commission within six months of the date
of approval of the preliminary plat, otherwise the approval of the
planning commission shall become null and void, unless an extension
of time is applied for and granted by the city council.
(e) When
the final plat is filed with the planning commission for approval,
it shall be accompanied by a filing fee as on file in the city secretary's
office.
(f) Within
30 days after the final plat is formally filed, the planning commission
shall approve or disapprove such plat. If the final plat is disapproved,
the planning commission shall inform the subdivider in writing of
the reasons at the time such action is taken.
(g) After
the plat has been approved and the subdivider has filed the required
security hereinafter provided, the subdivider shall cause the final
plat to be recorded with the county clerk.
(h) No
building permits will be issued by the city until four copies of the
recorded final plat have been furnished to the city secretary.
(i) Before
the planning commission shall give approval to a final plat, the planning
commission must have on file a letter addressed to the city from the
city engineer stating that all platting and engineering requirements
of this article have been met by the developer, including any variances
granted by the planning commission or the city council. The city engineer
shall file such letter within ten days following receipt of a copy
of such final plat in the engineer's office.
(j) A final
plat which has been approved by the planning commission must be filed
with the county clerk within 12 months following the date of approval.
If a final plat, for which approval has been given, has not been filed
for record in the office of the county clerk on or before the expiration
of one year from date of approval, the city may withdraw such approval
by sending notice of such withdrawal to the developer by certified
mail, return receipt requested, to the address of the developer as
shown on the application for plat approval submitted to the planning
commission. Copies of such notice of withdrawal shall also be sent
to any lienholders shown on the subdivision file or any surety who
has posted any guaranty of performance bond for the benefit of the
developer.
(k) No
building permits shall be issued for any construction within, nor
utilities extended to, a subdivision from which approval has been
withdrawn. Nor shall the city be required to grant permits within
the subdivision until the developer resubmits the subdivision plat
to the planning commission for approval. Any plat so resubmitted must
conform to the city's subdivision regulations in effect on the date
of resubmission.
(l) The
city council expressly reserves to itself the final approval of all
subdivisions prior to filing for record in the office of the county
clerk.
