§ 155.065 REVIEW BY PLANNING OFFICE.

   The Planning Office shall review the final plat with various appropriate city departments, as well as other public officials such as school district officials, and county officials where the development is located outside the city limits.

§ 155.066 RECOMMENDATION BY PLANNING OFFICE.

§ 155.067 APPROVAL BY PLANNING COMMISSION; RECORDING.

   If the city’s Planning Commission approves the final plat, the Planning Office shall forward the Planning Commission’s recommendation and the final subdivision plat to the City Council for its consideration. After approval by the City Council, the final subdivision plat, with all required endorsements, must be submitted to the city’s Planning Administrator for filing with the county’s Register of Deeds and all required improvements must be installed to the city specifications or submit a certified check or surety bond to cover completion of all improvements. Failure to submit the subdivision plat and install the improvements within 12 months from the date of approval by the City Council will cause the subdivision approval to be void, and necessitate the applicant to resubmit all plans and fees for reconsideration and approval, except that prior to the 12-month filing date the city’s Planning Administrator may, if improvements are being installed in accordance with the subdivision regulations, grant an additional 12-month extension.
