The planning and zoning board shall approve or disapprove the tentative plat; provided however, that if the tentative plat is not satisfactory as originally presented, the board may cause the subdivider to make such changes as may be required by the board and thereupon approve the same. If the applicant submits the tentative and final plat applications separately, upon approval of the tentative plat, the applicant will receive a tentative plat checklist granting approval of the tentative plat. If the applicant has submitted both applications concurrently, pursuant to all Final Plat requirements of this title, the board may proceed to considering the final plat.
A. The applicant will be instructed by the planning and zoning board to collaborate with the city engineer in the preparation of applicable cost estimates, plans, specifications and contracts for required public improvements.
B. One copy of the approved plat shall thereupon be returned to the subdivider and one copy shall be retained by the Department of Community and Economic Development. Such approval shall be effective for no more than twelve (12) months from the date approval was granted. If a final plat has not been submitted for approval within such twelve (12) month period, the tentative plat must be resubmitted to the planning and zoning board as if such plat had never been approved.
