(A) Twelve paper print copies of the final plat together with any street profiles, other plans and certifications as indicated in § 152.045 of this subchapter, that may be required shall be submitted to the City Administrator by the subdivider.
(B) One paper print copy of the final plat shall be transmitted to the Engineer who will check the plat as to computations, monuments and the like, and that all the required improvements have been completed to the satisfaction of the city, or, in the case a security bond has been posted, that it is sufficient to cover the cost of the required improvements. If found satisfactory, the Engineer will refer the paper print copy of the final plat to the Planning and Zoning Commission with the Engineer’s approval certified thereon within 30 days of receipt thereof. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall then forward the plat together with its recommendations to the Council for final action.
(C) Within 60 days after the submittal of the final plat, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall recommend approval or disapproval of the plat. Failure of the Planning and Zoning Commission to act upon the final plat within 60 days shall be deemed a recommendation of approval of the plat. If plat disapproval is recommended, the grounds for disapproval shall be stated in the records of the Planning and Zoning Commission. A plat shall not be recommended for approval unless it conforms to the preliminary plat; conforms to the design standards set forth in this chapter; conforms to the adopted Comprehensive Plan; and is in accordance with all requirements and laws of the state. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall then forward the plat together with its recommendations to the Council for final action.
(D) It is the intent of this chapter that a paper copy of the final plat goes to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Engineer for review and to the Council for action. No final plat shall be approved by the Council until satisfactory evidence is filed with the city that the final plat is in a form acceptable to recording in the office of the County Recorder, and until there is deposited with the city the amount of the filing fee to be charged for the record with the amount to be established by the City Council by resolution.
(E) When the final plat has been approved by the Council, the developer shall then cause the required mylar, cloth, paper and sepia prints, all of which contain the certifications, signatures (except that of the city officials and the County Recorder), and acknowledgments required to file and record same in the office of the County Recorder to be produced and submitted to the city. The city shall record the final plat in the office of the County Recorder.
(F) Upon approval of the final plat, the subdivider shall record it with the County Recorder within 270 days in the manner specified by state law. Otherwise the approval shall become void unless a request for extension has been made in writing and approved by the Council.
