Applications for minor or commercial subdivision approval, along with any required fees, shall be filed with the planning department. The planning board shall prescribe the form of applications as well as any other material that may reasonably be required to determine compliance with this division. Minor or commercial subdivision plats shall comply with the mapping requirements of sections 14-230 and 14-231. The planning director shall not accept an application unless it complies with such requirements. An incomplete application shall be returned to the applicant, with a notation of its deficiencies.
(Ord. of 7-10-2000, § 5.7.1; Amend. of 6-1-2009(2))
When an application for minor or commercial subdivision approval is accepted, the planning director shall determine if the plat and application conform with all applicable regulations. He shall take action on an application based solely on the findings as to compliance with applicable regulations and conditions. He shall approve; approve subject to conditions; deny; or refer to the major subdivision approval process, if he finds it to be a major subdivision proposal or if requested by the applicant. If the planning director refers the request to a major subdivision review, an amended application shall be submitted as required in division 3A of this article. The planning director may impose reasonable conditions on his approval to ensure the subdivision complies with the requirements of this division.

The planning director shall notify the applicant of his decision on the applicant's application for a minor or commercial subdivision approval and shall file a copy of the decision in the planning department. The planning director shall endorse his approval on a reproducible mylar original of the final plat if he approves an application, or approves it with conditions. The applicant shall record such plat with the county register of deeds. Approval of any minor or commercial subdivision plat is void if it is not properly recorded within 60 days after the planning director's endorsement of approval. The planning director may extend this deadline provided the applicant has demonstrated a good faith effort to comply with the deadline, but for reasons beyond his control, fails to meet the requirements of the Register of Deeds for recordation within that period. Plats shall conform to the drawing specifications and certification requirements of sections 14-230 and 14-231.
