(A) City Council review. The City Council will consider the final plat at a meeting for which notice has been posted at least two full working days prior to the meeting.
(1) The City Council shall review the final plat according the review criteria in § 11.02.050.020.
(2) If the final plat is approved, the City Council shall certify its approval on the face of the final plat. When applicable, a certificate of the City Council’s acceptance of any dedicated land, easements or improvements shall be filed on the face of the final plat and/or on documents that accompany the final plat for recording.
(3) If the final plat is denied for non-compliance with the conditional approval, the MSPA or these regulations, the City Council shall write a letter for the public record stating the reason(s) for denial and forward a copy to the subdivider. The City Council will return the final plat to the subdivider within ten working days of the action. The subdivider may then make any necessary corrections to the plat or steps necessary to conform to the conditional approval and resubmit the final plat application for approval. The resubmission of the final plat application must still be submitted and approved within the original preliminary plat approval period.
(B) Filing the final plat. After receiving approval, the final plat may not be altered in any manner prior to recording. The County Clerk and Recorder may not accept any plat for filing that does not bear the City Council’s approval in proper form or a plat that has been altered after final plat approval. The Clerk and Recorder may file an approved plat only if it is accompanied by the documents specified in the Montana Uniform Standards for Final Subdivision Plats, contained in the § 11.02.100.010, Appendix B.
