(a) The Planning Commission shall take action within thirty days after submission for approval. If action cannot be taken within the thirty-day period, the Commission may obtain from the applicant an agreement for additional time. If the applicant will not agree to the time extension or if the Planning Commission rejects the plat or needs more information, then the application should be denied within the thirty-day period stating the inadequacies of the plat and advising that the applicant can refile at a later date.
(Ord. 81-56. Passed 12-28-81.)
(b) Approval of the subdivision may be given in one of the following two ways.
(1) Final approval. The Planning Commission may give final approval provided that a construction agreement and performance bond acceptable to the Village Law Director, Village Engineer and Council have been provided for the purpose of assuring installation of the improvements. The amount of the performance guarantee shall be sufficient to cover the cost of all improvements based on the approved detailed engineering plans at prevailing wage rates as indicated by an estimate made and signed by a professional engineer, and reviewed and approved by the Village Engineer. On receipt of the Village Engineer's determination that all requirements of these regulations have been met, the Planning Commission shall give final approval and shall indicate the approval and date on the tracing of the final subdivision plat. The plat shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder no later than one year after approval unless there is an extension agreed on between the Planning Commission and the subdivider. Failure to record the plat and begin installation of the approved improvements within twelve months of the plat approval date voids Planning Commission approval.
(2) Conditional approval. The Planning Commission may give conditional approval without the subdivider providing a construction agreement and performance bond. When all required improvements have been installed by the subdivider, inspected by the Village Engineer and certified as satisfactory to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall indicate their approval and the date on the tracing of the final subdivision plat. Following Council approval, the plat shall be immediately recorded.
(c) After the subdivider has obtained approval, as indicated in this section, and has installed all required improvements to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer, the Village Engineer shall certify that the improvements have been satisfactorily installed in compliance with the approved plans.
