(1) Approval of a preliminary plat by the City Council is an acceptance of the general layout, as submitted and indicates that the developer may proceed toward final plat approval in accordance with the City Council approval of the preliminary plat, including conditions and the city growth management standards.
(2) A complete application for final plat shall be submitted no later than one year after the date of approval of the preliminary plat, or a time as provided in the developer's agreement. Otherwise, the preliminary plat approval shall be considered void, unless an extension is requested in writing and for good cause, is granted by the City Council.
(3) The final plat applications for subsequent phases, as described by the approved phasing plan, shall be submitted within one year of approval of the final plat for the previous phase. An extension may be requested in writing for City Council approval.
(4) In considering time extensions for final plat submittals, the City Council shall consider the reasons for the extension. If the developer is unable to fulfill the schedule of the approved phasing plan, the City Council may consider allocating to a different development project the MUSA that was committed to the next phase of the plat. The subject plat would then wait until the following year for final plat or MUSA approval for its next phase.
(5) The final plat application shall have incorporated all the conditions of City Council approval of the preliminary plat. In all other respects, the final plat shall substantially conform to the preliminary plat. It may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which the developer proposes to record and develop at that time, provided that the portion conforms with all the requirements of this chapter.
(6) Approval of the engineering specifications required by this chapter pertaining to water supply, drainage, domestic wastewater, potable water, street lighting, gas and electric service, grading, roadway standards, widths and surfacing of streets shall be completed by the Community Development Department and appropriate development contracts prepared prior to approval of the final plat by the City Council.
