(A) The final plat shall comply with the provisions of the State Subdivision Control Act, Public Act 288 of 1967, being M.C.L.A. §§ 560.101 et seq., and be submitted within two years after final preliminary plat approval was granted.
(B) The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved and it may constitute only the portion of the approved preliminary plat which the proprietor proposed to record and develop at the time; provided, however, that such portion conforms to this subdivision chapter.
(C) Two copies of the proposed subdivision deed restrictions or protective covenants or a statement in writing that none are proposed shall be furnished to the township to be filed with the township’s copy of the final plat.
(D) Upon approval of the final plat by the Township Board, the subsequent approvals shall follow the procedure set forth in the Subdivision Act. The three prints of the final plat shall be forwarded: one to the Township Clerk, one to the Planning Commission and one to the Building Inspector (Zoning Administrator). Five Mylar copies shall be forwarded to the County Plat Committee.
(E) (1) Placing of required monument and lot corner markers may be waived by the Township Board for a period of one year from the date of approval of the final plat by the Township Board provided:
(a) That monuments or other markers adequately witnessed, shall be in place at all angles and at all ends of curves in the boundaries of the subdivision; and
(b) That the subdivider shall have delivered to the Township Clerk cash or a certified check or irrevocable bank letter of credit running to the township, whichever the Township Board determines is appropriate, in amount equal to $50 per monument remaining to be placed; plus $20 per lot corner marker remaining to be placed; however, that a minimum deposit of $200 shall be necessary regardless of the number of monuments and/or markers to be placed.
(2) Such cash, certified check or irrevocable bank letter of credit shall be returned to the subdivider upon receipt of a certificate by a surveyor that the monuments and markers have been placed as required within the time specified. If the subdivider defaults, the Township Clerk shall engage a surveyor to locate the monuments and markers called for on the plat and on completion of the work shall return any unexpended balance of the deposit to the party from whom it was received.
(F) The township shall require of the subdivider as a condition of final plat approval, a deposit in the form of cash, certified check or irrevocable bank letter of credit running to the township for the full cost, as estimated by the Township Engineer, of the public improvements under township jurisdiction to ensure the completion of said improvements and facilities within a length of time agreed upon from the date of approval of the final plat by the Township Board. The township shall rebate to the subdivider as work progresses, amounts of any cash deposits equal to the ratio of the work completed to the entire project provided, however, that no amount shall be reimbursed until the Township Engineer approves the same and at least 10% shall be retained pro-rata from the entire project for each payment until one year after completion of the improvements to ensure against any repairs that may be necessary.
(G) One complete set of as built Mylar drawings shall be provided by the proprietor to the Township Board at the time of final acceptance of the public improvements.
