15.8.4.7: PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT:
   A.   The final plat shall conform to the preliminary plat as approved, and if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he proposes to record and develop at the time; provided, however, that such portion conforms to all requirements of these regulations.
   B.   Application for approval of the final plat shall be submitted in writing to the administrative official at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered, for review by the EAC with a written recommendation to the planning commission.
   C.   Four (4) copies of the final plat and other exhibits required for approval shall be prepared as specified and shall be submitted to the administrative officer within three (3) months after approval of the preliminary plat; otherwise, such approval shall become null and void unless an extension of time is applied for and granted by the planning commission. All documents shall bear the approving signature of the administrative officer and the transmittal to council shall include a letter from the EAC on the merits or problems of the development.
   D.   Unless the preliminary plat has been approved without changes, the final plat shall have incorporated all changes and modifications required by the preliminary approval. To ensure such compliance, the administrative officer shall upon receipt of the final plat submission, forward one copy of all documents submitted for final approval to the EAC for their final review and comment before planning commission shall express its approval or disapproval of such plat.
   E.   The city council shall act upon the final plat submission within thirty (30) days after planning commission approval of the required documents, unless it has been mutually agreed to extend the period. The copy of the final plat shall be filed in the office of the city clerk.
   F.   The approval of the final plat by the city council shall be indicated on the document to be filed for the record by the affixing of the signature of the city clerk after the subdivider has posted the performance guarantee and executed the subdivision agreement as set forth. (Ord. 2013-20)
