(A) Prior to the preparation of the preliminary plat, the subdivider shall prepare a subdivision sketch plan for review by the Planning Commission. The sketch plan will be submitted as a basis for informal discussion between the subdivider and the Planning Commission and shall not constitute formal filing of the plat with the city. The Planning Commission shall provide advice and assistance to the subdivider but will take no action on the sketch plan. The sketch plan should, as a minimum, show the site’s location in the community, the type of development proposed, and preliminary lot and road layout including proposed minimum lot size. The subdivider shall pay the expense (if any) incurred by the city for the services to the city and/or Planning Commission of the Engineer and Attorney in the review of the sketch plan.
(B) When the subdivider feels he or she is ready to prepare the preliminary plat, he or she shall have his or her surveyor and/or planner draw one which is in conformity with the requirements of this chapter, as described in §§ 155.080 et seq.
(C) The subdivider shall fill out an application for consideration of planning request, or other application blanks as may be required. At the time of filing, the subdivider shall pay appropriate fees as set forth in Chapter 34.
(D) The subdivider shall furnish the City Manager-Clerk with 12 copies of the preliminary plat at least 15 days prior to the Planning Commission meeting at which it is to be considered.
(Ord. 179, passed 2-16-78)
(A) The City Manager-Clerk shall, upon receipt of the preliminary plat and application, refer three copies of the plat and application to the City Council, two copies of the plat to the Planning Commission, one copy of the plat to the school district if applicable, one copy to the County Planning Commission, and one copy to the Town Board if applicable.
(B) If the proposed subdivision abuts any state trunk highway, the City Manager-Clerk shall also refer one copy to the state District Highway Headquarters for review as required by state law; if it adjoins a public body of water one copy shall be referred to the state Commission of Natural Resources for review, and one copy to the Watershed District Board if applicable. Within five days after receiving the preliminary plat that includes or borders on an existing or proposed county road, the City Manager shall submit it to the County Engineer for review.
(C) The Engineer, Fire Chief, and Utilities Superintendent, and if appropriate, the School Board, County Planning Commission, Town Board, and the District Highway Engineer, shall within 30 days submit reports to the Planning Commission expressing recommendations for approval, disapproval, or revisions of the preliminary plat.
(D) Within 45 days after the plat is filed, the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the plat. One notice of the purpose, time, and place of this public hearing shall be published in the official newspaper at least ten days prior to the day of the hearing. The subdivider shall furnish the City Manager-Clerk with the names and mailing addresses of owners of all lands within 300 feet of the boundaries of the preliminary plat and the City Manager-Clerk shall give mailed notice of the hearing to these owners at least ten days prior to the day of the hearing, although failure of any property owner to receive notification shall not invalidate the proceedings.
(E) The subdivider or his or her representatives shall appear before the Planning Commission at the public hearing, in order to answer questions concerning the preliminary plat.
(F) The report of the Planning Commission shall be submitted to the City Council not later than 30 days after the public hearing on the plat. If the Planning Commission fails to make a report, the City Council shall proceed without the report. Failure to receive a report from the Planning Commission as herein provided shall not invalidate the proceedings or actions of the City Council.
(G) The City Council shall either approve or disapprove of a proposed plat within 120 days after a preliminary plat which contains all of the data required by § 155.041 and which conforms to the minimum design standards required by §§ 155.055 et seq. is submitted to the city unless the subdivider agrees to an extension of this time. The City Council may hold a public hearing on the plat following notice as provided herein. After receiving the Planning Commission’s recommendations, the City Council will act to approve or disapprove the plat at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Approval of the plat shall be by passage upon a simple majority vote of the entire membership of the City Council.
(Ord. 179, passed 2-16-78)
(A) Approval of the preliminary plat is an acceptance of the general layout and indication to the subdivider that he or she may proceed toward fulfilling the necessary steps for approval of the plat in accordance with the terms of approval. This approval does not constitute final acceptance of the subdivision.
(B) The City Council may require modifications, changes, and revisions of the plat, as it deems necessary to protect the health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of the community.
(C) If the City Council does not approve the plat, the reasons for this action shall be recorded in the proceedings and transmitted to the applicant within 15 days.
(Ord. 179, passed 2-16-78)
Should the subdivider desire to amend the plat as approved, he or she may submit an amended plat that shall follow the same procedure as a new plat, except for the public hearing and fee, unless the amendment is in the opinion of the City Council of such scope as to constitute a new plat, and then it shall be refiled.
(Ord. 179, passed 2-16-78)
(A) After approval of the preliminary plat, the final plat may be prepared. It shall incorporate all changes, modifications, and revisions required; otherwise, it shall conform to the approved plat.
(B) In the case of large subdivisions, to be developed in stages, the subdivider may be granted permission to prepare a plat for only the portion of the approved plat that he or she proposes to develop at this time, provided this portion conforms with all the requirements of these regulations. The subdivider may be required, as a condition of approval, to submit an estimated time schedule for further staging of the platting and recording.
(C) All plats shall comply with the provisions of state statutes and the requirements of this chapter.
(D) The subdivider shall file 12 copies of the final plat with the City Manager-Clerk no later than six months after the date of approval of the preliminary plat. If this is not done, the approval of the preliminary plat will be considered void unless an extension is requested by the subdivider and granted in writing by the City Council.
(E) The subdivider shall submit, with the final plat, a current abstract of title or a registered property certificate along with any unrecorded documents and an opinion of title by the subdivider’s attorney.
(Ord. 179, passed 2-16-78)
(A) The City Manager-Clerk shall, upon receipt of the plat, refer one copy to the City Council, the Engineer, and the County Planning Commission and Watershed District Board if applicable, and to applicable utility companies, to the State Department of Transportation, and to the applicable school district board; two copies to the Planning Commission; and one copy, with the abstract of title or registered property certificate and opinion of title, to the Attorney.
(B) The City Council may refer the plat to the Planning Commission for recommendation if they feel the plat is substantially different from the preliminary plat. The Planning Commission shall submit a report to the City Council within 45 days.
(C) The Engineer and Attorney shall submit a report to the City Council within 15 days upon receipt of the plat or at the next regular meeting of the City Council, whichever period is later, expressing their recommendations on the final plat. The City Council may require a report from the Fire Chief and/or Utility Superintendent.
(D) Prior to approval of the plat, the subdivider shall have installed all improvements or executed an agreement with the City Council for their installation. Improvements shall conform to approved engineering standards and be in compliance with the regulations in §§ 155.105 et seq.
(Ord. 179, passed 2-16-78)
(A) The City Council shall take action on the plat; this shall be done not more than 60 days after the final plat is filed with the City Manager-Clerk. If the plat is not approved, the reasons for this action shall be recorded in the official proceedings and transmitted to the subdivider within the 60-day period.
(B) If this plat is approved the City Council shall sign the plat and the subdivider shall then record it with the County Recorder within 180 days or the approved plat shall be considered void.
(C) The subdivider shall, immediately upon recording, furnish the City Manager-Clerk with a reproducible copy, either cron-aflex or its equivalent, of the recorded plat and two prints. Failure to furnish these copies shall be grounds for refusal to issue building permits for the lots within the plat.
(D) Upon receiving approval of the plat for a portion of the preliminary plat, the subdivider shall not be required to request a continuation of the recognition of the preliminary plat so as to maintain its approval, except that in the event a zoning amendment is adopted which requires a larger minimum lot size for land not yet platted and recorded, the larger minimum lot size may be required for any additional platting.
