(A) The subdivider, upon completion of all improvements required by this chapter, or upon posting of a bond, shall file with the plats officer the final or record plat for final approval. The plat must conform in every respect with the requirements specified in § 154.050. The subdivider shall submit the final plat not later than one year after approval of the preliminary plat. A final or record plat may be a portion of a larger subdivision for which a preliminary plat had been previously approved. However, improvements shall be made for all parts of the subdivision to be submitted for final approval.
(B) The subdivider shall file with the plats officer five black line or blue line prints, the original tracing and a formal request for approval, along with two copies of all covenants or restrictions pertaining to the final plat.
(C) The plats officer will check the final plat, plans and specifications for improvements. If found satisfactory, the original tracing shall be forwarded to the City Council, with a certificate showing that:
(1) The technical details of the plat itself have been checked and found satisfactory;
(2) All required improvements have been satisfactorily completed or, in lieu thereof, a surety bond has been posted, assuring their installation.
(D) After receiving notification from the plats officer that improvements are in order and after being satisfied that the final plat is in conformity with the approved preliminary plat and this chapter, the City Council shall approve and certify the final plat. The City Council shall have 60 days from the date of submission in which to take action on the final plat.
(E) After approval of the plat by the Council, four approved prints and original tracing of the final plat shall be returned to the plats officer. The plats officer shall transmit copies of the approved plat to the County Superintendent of Highways and such other agencies as deemed necessary and retain one for the Council's files. The original tracing shall be transmitted to the subdivider for recording.
(F) The subdivider shall post a maintenance bond covering any improvement to be accepted for maintenance by the city. Such bond shall be held by the Clerk and shall become effective upon acceptance of the final plat by the City Council, unless otherwise stipulated. Maintenance bonds shall run for two years on street paving and two years on sewer and water improvements.
