(A) Council review. The Council shall consider the final plat, the plan of subdivision, the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Planning and Zoning Director, the title report, other supporting documents, the offers of dedication, and the agreements and guarantees, if any, for deferred improvements.
(B) Council approval. If the Council determines that the plat is in conformity with the requirements of the law and of any requirements duly made relating thereto, and if the agreement and guarantees for deferred improvements, if any, and unpaid taxes or assessments are in order, and the plat conforms to the approved preliminary plat, it shall approve the plat; and the Mayor shall so certify this action by signature on the final plat.
(1) The Council may require such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of these regulations.
(2) If the Council determines that the plat is not in conformity with the preliminary plat or if other public health, safety, welfare or planning issues are not satisfactorily addressed, it shall disapprove the plat specifying its reason or reasons therefore; and shall advise the subdivider in writing of the disapproval and of the reason for the disapproval.
(3) All streets and other public improvements built by the subdivider, and parcels offered for dedication for public use by the plat, will be formally accepted for maintenance by separate Council action, subject to conditions. Approval of the final plat does not imply acceptance of streets and other public improvements into the town's street and utility systems for maintenance by the town. Formal acceptance for maintenance must occur by Town Council resolution, but cannot occur until after the final plat is recorded and the street is actually built to town standards.
