A. Plat Approval: For all cases of subdividing within the scope of this title, a plat of the land in question shall be drawn and submitted to the Planning Commission and Town Board for their approval or disapproval, as provided in this title.
B. Official Recording: No plat or other land subdivision instrument shall be filed in the Office of the County Clerk until it shall have been approved by the Planning Commission and by the Town Board as set forth in this title. All final plats shall be filed within two (2) years of the date of approval by the Planning Commission, and no lots shall be sold from any plat until recorded. Failure to record the plat within two (2) years of the date of Planning Commission or Town Board approval, whichever is the later, shall void all approvals thereto.
C. Agenda: Each plat submitted for preliminary or final approval shall be placed on the agenda of the Planning Commission only after fulfilling the appropriate requirements of this title. However, a plat not meeting all of the requirements may be submitted, provided the subdivider presents with the plat a written request for specific exceptions and explains the reasons therefor. (2011 Code app § 5)
D. Filing Fee: To defray partially the costs of notification and administration procedures, there shall be paid to the Town Clerk- Treasurer, at the time of submission of the preliminary plat, a fee as provided in the fee schedule adopted by resolution of the Town Board of Trustees. Where only a portion of an approved preliminary plat is submitted for final approval, a final plat of the remaining area may be submitted at any time within five (5) years of the date of preliminary approval without payment of an additional filing fee by the subdivider, if the area conforms substantially with the approved preliminary plat. (2011 Code app § 5; amd. 2017 Code)
E. Exemptions: Plats containing four (4) lots or fewer may be exempted from the provisions of all or part of the procedural provisions contained in this chapter and chapter 5 of this title upon written approval of the Planning Commission, but such exemption shall not change or diminish the requirements relating to design or to improvements or the other provisions of this title. (2011 Code app. § 5)
