Within a reasonable time after the final plat is filed with the county, the Platting Officer shall refer copies of the final plat to the township and private utility companies as appropriate. The report by the County Attorney and the County Surveyor shall be considered by the Planning Commission and the County Board. Final action on the plat shall not be taken until such time as these reports are available and have been reviewed. The procedure and timing for the reports of the County Planning Commission and action by the County Board are the same as for preliminary plat except that no public hearing is required in processing the final plat. The County Board shall act on the final plat within 60 days of official filing with the Platting Officer, unless an extension of the deadline is mutually agreed to by the County Board and the applicant. Action shall consist of resolutions passed by the Planning Commission and the County Board approving or denying the plat. The resolutions shall include appropriate findings and any conditions or requirements of approval. The County Board resolution shall authorize the chairman to sign the plat if the plat is to be approved. Failure to act shall constitute approval provided all requirements and conditions upon which preliminary approval are based are met.
