(A) Approval of the preliminary plat or the first part thereof if phased, shall become null and void unless the final plat is presented to the City Council within two years after the date of approval of the preliminary plat by the City Council. If the proposed preliminary plat is phased, the second phase of the preliminary plat will remain valid for only three years after the date of approval of the preliminary plat by the City Council and the balance of the remaining preliminary plat will remain valid for only four years after the date of the preliminary plat by the City Council.
(B) A one-year extension of the preliminary plat, or any part thereof if phased, may be granted by the City Council upon written request by the developer to the Director of Planning and Zoning and upon submittal of any required fee. If the City Council finds they are reasonably assured the public improvements will be completed and the final plats will be filed they may grant an extension of the preliminary plat. If the developer applies for an extension of time for any part of a phased preliminary plat, which is subsequently granted by the City Council, the remaining phases shall automatically be extended.
(C) A developer shall apply only once for a one year extension of the preliminary plat, whether or not the preliminary plat is phased. The developer, not the city, shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the one year time limit.
