The final plat shall be filed within one year after the date of approval of the proposed plat by Council, unless an extension of this period is granted by Council for good cause prior to the expiration of the one-year period; otherwise, any final plat shall be considered void and the procedure for the filing of a preliminary plat shall be followed. The subdivider, during either the one-year period or a valid extension thereof and at least one week prior to the Planning Commission meeting at which it is to be considered, shall file with the City Clerk an application for final approval, together with the five copies of the proposed final plat map on approved material, as required by the Subdivision Control Act, and ten paper copies of this map and of all other pertinent documents, together with such fees as are provided for in the City's user fee schedule, as amended from time to time by resolution of Council, and as provided in the Subdivision Control Act. The filing fee for the preliminary plat shall be allowed as the per-lot fee for the first final plat on any subdivision contained within the limits of the preliminary plat. The final plat with all accompanying documents shall be examined by both the City Attorney and the City Manager within one week after filing in order to determine that the final plat is in full compliance with the formal and technical provisions, respectively, of these Subdivision Regulations and the Subdivision Control Act, with all agreements in order and enforceable upon their formal acceptance by Council. Further, the City Manager shall find that all amendments upon which contingent approval of the preliminary plat was granted by the Planning Commission and confirmed by Council have been incorporated in the final plat. The City Attorney and City Manager shall endorse the application for final approval with their individual findings and return it to the City Clerk for appropriate action. If the final plat is not approved by either the City Attorney or the City Manager, or both, the subdivider shall be immediately so notified by the City Clerk so that he or she may take necessary corrective action. The refiling of such a corrected final plat shall be done in the same manner as the original filing as provided herein, except that no fee shall be required.
