(a) Signing of Plat.
(1) When a subdivision improvement agreement and security are required, the Chairman of the Planning Commission, Mayor, Council and the Village Engineer endorse approval on the final plat after the agreement and security have been approved by Planning Commission, and all the conditions of the resolution pertaining to the final plat have been satisfied.
(2) When installation of improvements is required prior to recordation of the final plat, the Chairman of the Planning Commission, Mayor, President of Council and the Village Engineer shall endorse approval on the final plat after all conditions of the resolution have been satisfied and all improvements satisfactorily completed.
(b) Recordation of Plat.
(1) The Chairman of the Planning Commission, Mayor, President of Council and Village Engineer will sign the tracing cloth or reproducible mylar original of the final subdivision plat and two (2) sepia prints of the final subdivision plat. The sepia prints will be returned to the applicant's engineer.
(2) It shall be the responsibility of the owner to file the final plat with the County Clerk and Recorder's Office within ten (10) days of the date of signature. Simultaneously with the filing of the final plat, the Planner or Zoning Administrator shall record the agreement of dedication together with such legal documents as shall be required to be recorded by the Village Law Director.
(c) Sectionalizing Major Subdivision Plats. Prior to granting final approval of a major subdivision plat, the Planning Commission may permit the plat to be divided into two or more sections and may impose such conditions upon the filing of the sections as it may deem necessary to assure the orderly development of the plat. The Planning Commission may require that the subdivision improvement agreement and security be in such amount as is commensurate with the section or sections of the plat to be filed and may defer the remaining amount of the security until the remaining sections of the plat are offered for filing. The Developer may also file irrevocable offers to dedicate streets and public improvements in the sections offered to be filed and defer filing offers of dedication for the remaining sections until those sections, subject to any conditions imposed by the Planning Commission, shall be granted concurrently with final approval of the plat. If sectionalizing is approved, such sections as have been authorized by the Planning Commission shall be filed with the County Clerk and Recorder's Office. Such sections must contain at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of lots contained in the approved plat. The approval of all remaining sections not filed with the Clerk and Recorder's Office shall automatically expire unless such sections have been approved for filing by the Planning Commission, all fees paid, all instruments and offers of dedication submitted and subdivision improvement agreements, security and performance bonds, if any, approved and actually filed with the Clerk and Recorder's Office within three (3) years of the date of final subdivision plat.
