(A) Application.
(1) Application for final approval of a plat shall be made to the Village Clerk, along with the application fee and any impact fee set forth by ordinance or resolution, not later than one year after preliminary approval has been granted for all parts of the area preliminarily platted. If, after one year from the preliminary plat, no submission of a final plat in conformance with the procedures contained herein has occurred, the preliminary plat may be declared void by the Board of Trustees and returned to the subdivider with an explanation of the action.
(2) The preliminary and final plat may be filed and approved simultaneously if all requirements hereof are met. However, if desired by the subdivider, the final plat may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he or she proposes to record and develop at that time; further, if the development is staged, all staged final plats shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved. Approval for the final plat may be submitted in stages with each stage reflecting a portion of the approved preliminary plat which is proposed to be recorded and developed; however, the portion shall conform to all requirements of these regulations. The final plat shall be essentially in accord with the preliminary plat.
(B) Plan Commission action. The Clerk shall refer the final plat to the Plan Commission. After review of the final plat the Plan Commission shall recommend approval or disapproval and the reasons therefor, to the Board of Trustees. The Chairperson of the Plan Commission, after formal approval of the Board of Trustees, shall suitably endorse the plat in the name of the Plan Commission.
(C) Statement of intent and agreement. The Village Attorney and Engineer will review and recommend all supporting documents, including engineering and financial surety documentation. A statement of intent and agreement (S.I.A.) shall be completed by the subdivider which summarizes and includes all agreements between the subdivider and the village.
(D) Approval of final plat. When and if the Board of Trustees is satisfied with the final plat and S.I.A. along with all improvements, conditions, documents and financial surety hereinafter noted, pertaining to the subdivision, the Board shall by motion or resolution approve the plat and S.I.A. and authorize and direct the President and the Clerk to sign the plat for and in the name of the village, and the Clerk shall attach hereto the Corporate Seal.
(E) Recording of final plat. The Village Clerk shall have the final plat and S.I.A. recorded in the office of the County Recorder. This final plat after recording shall be returned to the office of the Clerk and a copy thereof shall be maintained on file. The original of the final plat shall be returned to the subdivider.
(F) Review duration. When the developer has supplied all drawings, maps and other documents required by the village ordinances to be furnished in support thereof, and if all this material meets village requirements, the Village Board shall approve the proposed plat within 30 days from the date of filing application for approval of the final plat or within 30 days from the date of filing the last required document, whichever is later. The applicant and the Village Board may mutually agree to extend the 30-day period.
