(A) Submission dates. Secondary plat approval occurs after approval of the primary plat and construction plans. Applications must be filed according to the schedule of meetings and filing deadlines in the format specified by the Department. Applications for secondary plat approval and construction plan approval may be filed concurrently. Secondary plat applications may be submitted within the time provided for appeal under I.C. 36-7-4-708. However, approval of a secondary plat will not be granted until 30 days after the approval of a primary plat.
(B) Submission procedure and requirements. The applicant files: (1) an application provided on forms provided by the Department; (2) a secondary plat; (3) all applicable fees; and (4) supplemental information required by the Administrator. Plans may also be submitted in an electronic format acceptable to the town.
(C) Compliance. The secondary plat must be substantially similar to the approved primary plat.
(D) Review of complete applications. The Administrator reviews the application for completeness. The Technical Advisory Committee may review any secondary plat prior to approval. The Administrator reviews the secondary plat and notifies the applicant in writing of revisions or changes needed for approval.
(E) Approval. The applicant revises the secondary plat as needed and resubmits it to the Administrator. The Administrator determines if the revised plat needs reviewed by any of the Technical Advisory Committee members. When the Administrator determines the plat complies with the requirements of this chapter, the plat is approved by the Administrator.
(F) Effect of approval. Approval of a secondary plat does not authorize the development, construction, alteration or moving of any structure. The approval allows the filing and processing of applications for permits including an improvement location permit, building permit, and a certificate of occupancy.
(G) Signing of plat. Unless otherwise approved by the Administrator, a secondary plat will not be signed until: (i) streets, curbs, gutters, sanitary sewers, fire hydrants, storm sewers and like infrastructure are constructed per the town's construction standards, and maintenance sureties for public improvements are secured according to this chapter; or (ii) performance sureties are secured assuring the installation of public improvements (see § 154.161).
(H) Recording of secondary plat. No secondary plat or amendment of a subdivision will be recorded until the plat is approved and signed according to this chapter. Upon approval, the applicant must record the signed secondary plat within 90 days of plat approval. The applicant must record the plat, covenants, and any applicable homeowner association documents in the Office of the Recorder of Johnson County, Indiana, within 30 days of receiving the fully signed plat. The applicant must provide electronic copies of the recorded plat and associated documents to the Department within 30 days of being recorded.
