In the event that the plat involves special problems or is in conflict with city development objectives or with the planning studies being conducted by the Planning Commission, the Commission shall notify the owner or subdivider as to the time and place of the Planning Commission meeting at which he shall be afforded an opportunity to appear.
(E) Any proposed plat in the Shoreland Management Area, which is inconsistent with provisions of this chapter shall be reviewed by the Commissioner of Natural Resources before approval by the City Council may be granted.

(I) Any approval of the final plat by the Council shall be null and void if the plat is not recorded with the Register of Deeds of the County within 30 days after the date of approval unless application for an extension of time is made, in writing, during the 30 day period, to the City Council and granted by the Council. A duplicate and five paper prints of the final plat - after the plat has been recorded with the Register of Deeds of the County - shall be filed with the County Auditor.
