(A) After the submission of the completed subdivision improvement plan, the Village Planning Commission, after determination as to whether or not the subdivision improvement plan complies with the requirements, shall take formal action authorizing or denying authorization for the development to proceed in accordance with the subdivision improvement plan and with this chapter.
(1) If the Commission authorizes the development to proceed, it shall so inform the developer, and request eleven blueprints which shall be stamped in accordance with Commission's action and distributed, one to the Regional Planning Commission, one to the Cincinnati Water Works, one to the Metropolitan Sewer District, one to the Board of Health, one to the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company, one to the Village Engineer, two to the developer, and three to the Village Planning Commission files.
(2) If the Commission fails to authorize the development to proceed, the developer shall be so informed by letter, noting reasons therefor, including citation of or reference to the provision violated by the plan.
(3) Expiration of authority of develop. The Planning Commission written authority to proceed with development shall be valid for a period of three years. If substantial development has not been started within the three-year period and proceeded to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission, the authority to proceed will be void and a new request complying with the procedures specified will be required.
(B) Permits and deposits. Before starting work on any improvements, the developer or his contractor shall make application to the village for a permit to install public improvements. Three sets of plans shall accompany the application. Before the permit is issued, the developer or his contractor shall deposit with the village a sum of money sufficient, in the sound discretion of the Village Engineer, to cover the cost of testing and inspection as provided in § 155.11. In accordance with Chapter 50, a non-refundable fee amounting to 2% of the cost of all sanitary sewer work must be paid to the village for the sanitary sewer maintenance fund prior to issuance of the permit. The application shall be in the following form:
