After primary plat approval is obtained, the subdivider shall submit a secondary plat to the Plan Commission as set forth in this chapter, as amended from time to time.
(A) The subdivider shall be required to appear before the Plan Commission for secondary plat approval at a public meeting no sooner than the next regularly scheduled public meeting of the Plan Commission after obtaining primary plat approval. The Plan Commission shall review the request of the subdivider for secondary plat approval to determine whether the secondary plat is in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, as amended from time to time.
(B) The subdivider shall be required to submit the following for secondary plat approval:
(1) Twelve black or blue line prints and two original mylars with reproducible prints of the plat and a CADD DISC, compatible with the Town of Kouts system;
(2) A certificate that all improvements required by this chapter, as amended from time to time, have been in strict accordance with standards of construction of the town; or a guarantee that any improvements will be subsequently installed by the owner. This can be either in the form of proof of financial responsibility or a bond by a company rated AA by Best and licensed to do business in the State of Indiana, or a deposit of funds or security in escrow that will cover the cost of improvements as estimated by the licensed engineer and approved by the Town Council; the bond or other proof of financial responsibility may be reduced in proportion to the amount of the improvements constructed and accepted, but shall not be reduced to less than 10% of the estimated cost of improvements. This 10% bonding fee will be retained until such time as the petitioner posts the required maintenance bond as required in this section. There will be an annual review of the bond by the duly designated town authorities;
(3) A certified check or money order, in the amount of the fees actually incurred by the town's engineering consultants and attorneys attributed to the review, application and processing of the primary plat, at rates reasonably and customarily charged by those engineering consultants and attorneys, which total has to date exceeded the fee prescribed in § 153.022(B)(1)(b), in addition to $400, plus $100 per lot for the first five lots of the subdivision; then $25 for each additional lot after the initial five lots.
(C) If the Plan Commission finds that the secondary plat is in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, as amended from time to time, they shall affix the seal of the Plan Commission upon the plat, and the President and Secretary or other authorized members shall endorse the plat and return it to the subdivider. If disapproved, the President shall attach to the original tracing of the secondary plat a statement of the reasons for such action and return it to the subdivider.
