The developer may install and construct all required site improvements before applying for approval of the final plat of the subdivision; and, if the improvements are satisfactorily completed, a certificate of completion by the City Engineer shall accompany such application. Or, in lieu thereof, if the developer furnishes a satisfactory performance guarantee, he may apply for approval of the final plat of the subdivision before the site improvements are started either by himself or by the City on an assessment program. If improvements are partially installed, he may also furnish a performance guarantee for the remainder of the work and apply for approval of the final plat.
(a) Application for Approval. Application for approval of a final plat of a subdivision shall be submitted in writing to the Planning Commission together with the tracing of the final plat and three prints thereof and other required maps and data in the form specified in Section 1113.10
. The application shall be submitted within two years after approval of the preliminary plan; otherwise, such approval shall become null and void unless an extension of time is granted by the Commission.
(b) Action by the Planning Commission and Other Municipal Officials. The final plat shall be reviewed by the Commission and other officials for:
(1) Conformity with conditions of approval of the preliminary plan, and any modifications required; and
(2) Correctness of mathematical data and computation; and
(3) Assurance that all other matters requiring review comply with these Subdivision Regulations.
If the final plat is correct in regard to the aforesaid provisions, and if the required site improvements have been installed, or alternatively, a satisfactory performance guarantee has been filed, the Commission shall approve the plat within forty-five days of submission of the final plat for approval (or within such extension of time as agreed to by the applicant), otherwise, the plat shall be deemed to have been approved.
(c) Form of Approval. The approval of the final plat shall be indicated by a statement to that effect on the original plat with the signature of the chairman and secretary of the Commission, and the Commission shall obtain three copies thereof. The reason for disapproval of any final plat shall be stated in the records of the Commission. (Ord. 1961-3. Passed 7-31-61.)
