(A) If approved and all conditions are met, the Director or any authorized staff member shall complete and sign the certificate of approval located on the face of the plat. Approval shall be valid for one year. During this period the approved minor subdivision plat shall be recorded in the office of the County Clerk.
(B) If the plat is not recorded within one year of the approval date, the applicant may request a one-year extension of the expiration date. Only one extension may be granted for the plat. The applicant shall submit a written request for extension. Division staff may grant requests for extension of the expiration date if they find that circumstances or hardship justify such requests. Extension requests beyond one year will be treated as new applications.
