§ 153.119 APPLICATION PROCESS.
   (A)   Pre-application meeting.
      (1)   The applicant shall meet with the Director, or his or her designee, to discuss the proposed land split.
      (2)   The Director shall advise the applicant of the specific objectives of this section and the specific procedures, standards and approval process regarding the review of the application.
      (3)   The Director shall advise the applicant regarding the standards to determine whether the proposed land split would constitute a subdivision.
   (B)   Review. The Planning Department shall route copies of the proposed land split to applicable reviewing entities for review and comment prior to final decision by the Planning and Zoning Director.
   (C)   Review process. Upon receipt of a completed application, the Director, or his or her designee, shall provide a decision on the application within 30 working days. Review by town departments will be completed and comments returned to the Director prior to a final decision. Approval or denial may be based upon the requirements listed in Town Code Chapter 156 and § 153.117 above describing general standards. Failure of any department or reviewing entity to reply within the time specified will be interpreted as no objection by the department or reviewing entity to the approval of the land split application and plat as submitted. Approval is valid for a period of 12 months. If the land split plat has not been recorded at the Mohave County Recorder’s Office within the 12 month approval period, the approval expires and a new land split application would need to be made to effect the division of the property.

         (a)   The applicant shall be responsible for the preparation of a complete set of engineering plans prepared by an Arizona registered civil engineer, satisfactory to the Director and Town Engineer, for the construction of the required improvements. The plans may be prepared in conjunction with or following the approval of the minor land division plat.
         (b)   The land split plat shall not be recorded until all engineering plans for the required improvements have been approved by the Director and Town Engineer;
         (c)   Except where expressly modified or permitted by the Director, proposed streets shall be in conformity with the minimum street design standards as specified in the town's subdivision regulations. The construction of streets shall not commence until improvement plans and specifications have been approved by the Director and Town Engineer; and
         (d)   Following Town Council approval of the land split map, no building permit for any lot created will be issued until all required right-of-ways are dedicated and public improvements are constructed to the minimum standards and the work accepted by the Town Engineer, Public Works Director and Utilities Departments, unless the developer provides construction assurance in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney.
      (6)   The applicant's surveyor shall set survey monuments at each parcel corner (or line point) prior to recording the land split map with the Mohave County Recorder's Office.
