A. Unless an extension of time is requested by the applicant and granted by the City Council, the applicant shall submit the following information to the City clerk within one year following approval of the preliminary plat:
1. Ten copies and a reproducible copy of the proposed final plat. This final plat shall incorporate all changes required by the City Council. Otherwise, it shall conform to the preliminary plat. The final plat may constitute only that portion of the preliminary plat which the applicant proposes to record and develop at the time.
2. A certified abstract of title, title commitment, registered property abstract, or title opinion, current within thirty (30) days of the final plat approval, and such other evidence as the City Attorney may require, showing title or control in the applicant.
B. The Zoning Administrator shall refer one copy of the final plat to the City Engineer and Planner for final review. The applicant shall send one copy each to the telephone and power and other utility companies. The abstract of title or registered property report and one copy of the proposed final plat shall be referred to the City Attorney for his/her examination and report. The City Attorney's report shall be made in writing to the City Council within thirty (30) business days after receipt of the title evidence and the proposed final plat. No further meeting or hearing before the Planning Commission is necessary unless, after final review by the Zoning Administrator, City Engineer, City Planner or City Attorney, it appears that the proposed final plat does not conform to the preliminary plat or the conditions for approval established by the City Council.
C. If such nonconformity is found, the Zoning Administrator shall notify the applicant to appear at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. The City Council shall either:
A. direct the applicant to correct the proposed final plat, or
B. direct the applicant to appear at the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting for consideration of the applicant's changes to the plat. If the changes in the design appear to be founded on facts which were not part of the Planning Commission's Findings of Fact, then the applicant shall pay the fees for a second public hearing. The procedures for the second public hearing and the reporting procedures following the hearing shall be the same as the first hearing, and all time periods in this chapter shall be extended to accommodate this procedure.
D. If the final plat is approved by the City Council, the applicant shall record it with the Anoka County Recorder or Registrar of Titles within 180 days after the date of approval or the approval of the final plat shall be void.
E. The applicant shall furnish the City Clerk with four paper prints and one transparency ("mylar") print of the final plat showing evidence of the recording, immediately upon recording.
