(A) Before any development takes place, the petitioner shall file with the Plan Commission a minimum of seven sets of the final detailed plan specifying the location, composition and engineering features of all lots, storm drainage, sanitary sewage, water supply facilities, public or private streets, recreation facilities, site perimeter treatment, landscaping, utilities, plat and other site development features including locations of buildings. The petitioner shall also file the original of all signed and notarized documents pertaining to restrictive covenants, condominium declaration and/or the creation of homeowners associations, along with financial assurance for the satisfactory installation of all public improvements in the form of bonds or such other assurances as are required in the normal procedures of platting pursuant to the subdivision provisions of this chapter. The Plan Commission shall then approve the final detailed plans by resolution duly adopted, upon an affirmative finding that the final detailed plan is consistent with the approved preliminary planned unit development as adopted and passed by the Common Council upon rezoning. Having once approved the final detailed plan, the Plan Commission shall have not further authority to review or act thereon, except as to enforcement, any amendatory ordinance, or as hereafter provided for.
(B) The approved preliminary plan may provide for development of the property involved in phases. If such phasing is included as a part of the approval of the preliminary plan, the petitioner may submit partial final detailed plans that correspond to the phases involved. Such partial final detailed plans, when approved, shall be treated in the same manner as approved final detailed plans for an entire planned development.
(C) The approved final detailed plan or phase thereof shall be stamped “Approved Final Detailed Planned Unit Development” and be signed by the President and Secretary with one copy permanently retained in the office of the Plan Commission following recordation.
(D) Unless extended by the Plan Commission, approval of the first phase of the final detailed plan shall be obtained within two years, and approval of the balance of the final detailed plan shall be obtained within five years after adoption of the Planned Unit Development District by the Common Council.
(E) In the event that approval of a final detailed plan is not timely obtained, the Plan Commission may initiate an amendment to the zoning map to return said land to its prior classification.
(F) In the exercise of continuing jurisdiction, the Development Coordinator may from time to time approve only minor modifications of the approved final detailed planned unit development in a manner consistent with the approved preliminary planned development. Such modifications shall not include any increase in density, any lessening of aesthetic treatments, any alteration of frontage or building location, or any change in type of use, or any change in access points.
(G) Approval of a final detailed plan shall expire after a period of five years from the approved phasing of the preliminary plan unless the development is 50% completed in terms of public improvements including streets, open space, walkways, utility installations and sanitary sewers. The Plan Commission, upon recommendation of the Development Coordinator, shall make determination of the amount of completion. Following expiration of the final detailed plan, the city shall declare the bond to be in default and cause all public improvements to be installed according to the final detailed plans.
