(A) Minor or material amendments.
(1) Subdivision plat proposals may be amended during the course of plat review. The process for amendment depends on whether the change is determined to be major or minor in scope, and at what stage the change is being proposed (preliminary plat, final plat, or recordation).
(2) A determination will be made by the Planning and Zoning Director upon receipt of comments from reviewing town departments whether the changes are "minor authorized" changes and the final plat may be presented to the Town Council or if the changes are material and a "revised" preliminary plat will be required for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council.
(3) Minor authorized changes may include adjustment, variation and reduction of lots, lot lines, easements or statements contained in the preliminary plat if they are found by the Planning and Zoning Director to be consistent with the intent and design of the approved preliminary plat.
(4) Adding lots, streets or creating exceptions to the town's design standards are changes which will require a "revised" preliminary plat.
(B) Amendments between preliminary plat and before final plat. Any minor amendment proposed following Commission approval of the preliminary plat will be highlighted for consideration by the Town Council as part of the final plat application. Major amendments to the preliminary plat shall be returned to the Commission for further consideration.
(C) Amendments following approval of final plat and before recording. The Planning and Zoning Director may administratively approve any minor amendment (i.e., change of street names, decrease in the number of lots, nominal increases or decreases of lot sizes; nominal changes in the location of streets, easements, and other public rights-of-way), to a final plat which has already been approved by the Town Council. Any major amendment to a final plat which follows Council approval will be referred back to the Town Council.
(D) Amendments which follow recording. Any plat of a subdivision that has been filed for record with the Mohave County Recorder may be amended to correct an error in any course or distance or other necessary item that was omitted therefrom, or to correct a drafting, graphic, technical or similar type errors, determined to be minor in scope by either the Planning and Zoning Director or a representative Committee delegated to evaluate the amendment proposals (scrivener's errors), and the corrected and amended plat may be subsequently recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
(1) The Planning and Zoning Director shall examine the amended plat, and if the examination discloses that the only changes on the amended plat are changes authorized above, he or she shall certify this to be a fact over his or her signature on the amended plat. Thereafter, the amended plat shall be entitled to be recorded in the office of the Mohave County Recorder in which the original map was recorded. The map shall be marked "Amended Map of (insert name of subdivision) ."
(2) For any change in a recorded subdivision plat which exceeds the criteria noted above, that change shall require approval of the Town Council.
