(A) In lieu of the procedures set forth in the remaining sections of this subchapter, the subdivider may apply for final approval for any minor subdivision through the procedure set forth herein.
(B) This procedure is designed to eliminate the requirement for submission of a preliminary plat, thus allowing the subdivider to submit only the final plat for approval.
(C) The final plat for a minor subdivision shall contain all information required in § 154.045, and the subdivision shall be subject to all development requirements of this chapter. Seven copies of the final plat and all supporting information for all minor subdivisions must be presented to the Zoning Administrator on a business day at least 10 days prior to a regular or special meeting of the Planning Board.
(D) The application, the final plat and all supporting information must be deemed complete a minimum of 10 days prior to a Board meeting in order to be scheduled for a Board meeting. Additional time may be required if outside technical review assistance is needed. The Planning Board shall review each minor subdivision and shall find that it either does or does not meet the requirements of this chapter. The finding shall be in writing and recorded in the records of the Planning Board.
(E) Based upon the findings, the Planning Board shall approve, approve conditionally or disapprove the proposed minor subdivision within 32 days after its first consideration. A conditional approval shall be made upon a finding of the Planning Board that all conditions have been met except for minor provisions which are easily completed or corrected. If the plat is approved conditionally, the conditions shall be specified by the Planning Board and if it so provides by a majority vote of those present, it may delegate to the Zoning Administrator the right to approve the final plat upon a finding that the conditions have been met.
(F) The Planning Board shall note on the plat that the Zoning Administrator shall have authority to sign the final plat. If the Planning Board, however, reserves the right to approve the final plat, first consideration shall be given of the plat at the next regular or special meeting after the final plat has been submitted in accordance with this section. If the Planning Board disapproves the final plat, the Planning Board shall find in writing the provisions of this chapter with which the plat does not comply and the facts constituting non-compliance for the provisions.
(G) One copy of the findings shall be sent to the subdivider within 14 days of disapproval, and 1 copy shall be retained by the Planning Board as a part of its proceedings. If the plat is disapproved, the subdivider may make the changes as needed to bring the plat into compliance with the provisions of this chapter and resubmit the same for reconsideration by the Planning Board pursuant to the procedures set forth in this section.
(H) If the proposed minor subdivision is approved by the Planning Board, or approved conditionally as set forth above, a statement to that effect must appear on each copy of the plat presented. The approved subdivision plat must be recorded by the subdivider with the Rutherford County Register of Deeds within 30 days after approval.
