A. Final Plat Procedure:
1. Intent: The final plat is a record of the subdivision as surveyed in the field. It shows shapes and dimensions of the tract being subdivided and the parcels created thereby important to the public benefit to facilitate relocation of roadway lines, easements, building setbacks, open space, etc.
2. Filing: Within two (2) years after approval of the preliminary plat, the developer shall cause to be prepared and submit to the plat officer one mylar reproducible print, five (5) copies and one digital copy (AutoCAD format) of the final plat. Where the subdivision is to be improved in units or phases, the final plat for each phase shall be filed at intervals of no greater than two (2) years in duration, providing however, that an extension request submitted in accordance with paragraph 14-3-4D4 of this division has not been previously approved by the committee. The final plats for the entire tract shall be filed within ten (10) years from the date of the preliminary plat approval. The final plat shall be submitted not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the regular meeting of the planning and zoning committee for its review and recommendations, and approval or disapproval. Prior to approval of the final plat by the committee, the subdivider must have complied with the following items:
a. The submittal and approval of the improvement plans.
b. The submittal and approval of cost estimates for all required improvements.
c. The installation of all required improvements or the posting of a construction guarantee.
d. Payment of plat review and approval fees as determined by Ogle County ordinance, as amended.
e. Rezoning to appropriate classification, if necessary.
f. Payment of construction inspection fees in the amount of four percent (4%) of the engineer's estimate of the cost of improvements.
3. Conformance Of Final Plat: The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved and, if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he proposes to record and develop at the time; provided, however, that such portion conforms to all requirements of these regulations.
4. Additional Documents: The final plat shall be accompanied by all plans and such other documents as may be necessary concerning the performance bond or letter of credit to be used.
5. Approval By Other Entities: The committee shall not approve the final plat unless, in addition to the other requirements of these regulations, the plat has been approved in writing by the authority of any municipality with corporate boundaries within one and one-half (11/2) miles of the platted area, by the Illinois department of transportation with respect to roadway access, where such access is to a state highway; by the relevant local highway authority with respect to all other roadway access; and by the county health department with respect to sewage disposal systems if any part of the platted area will not be served by a public sewer system.
6. Committee Disapproval: If the final plat is disapproved by the committee, it shall set forth its reasons in its own records and provide the subdivider with a copy.
7. Committee Approval: If the final plat is approved by the committee, it shall affix upon the plat the certifying signature of its chairman and forward said plat to the county board.
8. County Board Decision: The county board shall approve or disapprove the final plat, and shall set forth in its own records any reasons for disapproval. The plat officer shall notify the subdivider in writing of the decision of the county board.
9. Plat Officer Signature Of Approval: The plat officer shall not affix his signature of approval to the final plat until all other required titles and certificates, with the exception of the Ogle County recorder, have been properly executed.
10. Recordation: The subdivider shall record one original mylar reproducible print and six (6) copies of the plat and any required accompanying documents with the Ogle County recorder for official recordation within six (6) months of the date of approval by the Ogle County board. If not recorded within this time, the approval shall become null and void.
B. Final Plat Requirements: The plat to be provided shall meet the following specifications:
1. The final plat shall be drawn to a scale of one hundred feet to one inch (1" = 100'), unless a different scale is more practical and is approved by the plat officer.
2. The final plat shall be drawn with waterproof, nonfading black ink on mylar or equivalent drafting material on sheets at least eight and one-half inches by fourteen inches (81/2" x 14") but not more than thirty inches by thirty six inches (30" x 36"). The original, plus six (6) copies of the final plat and any accompanying documents, shall be filed with the Ogle County recorder.
3. When more than one sheet is used for any plat, each sheet shall be numbered consecutively. A small scale drawing of the entire subdivision shall be shown on the first sheet, identifying portions for the subdivision according to its respective page number. Plats shall be drawn so as to be on a minimum number of sheets.
4. All dimensions shall be shown in feet and decimals of a foot.
5. All surveys for a final plat shall be made under the active and personal direction of a registered land surveyor of Illinois, and shall include the following information:
a. Legal description of the land to be subdivided.
b. Positions of all lot corners, beginnings and ends of curves and all angle points shall be marked in the field. The material of which all markers are made shall be noted. The subdivider shall conform with the following requirements concerning monuments:
(1) All federal, state, county or official bench marks, monuments, or triangulation stations in or adjacent to the subdivision shall be preserved.

6. The exact length and relative direction of all exterior boundary lines, with reference to the boundary controlling system most prevalent in the area of the land being subdivided. All distances shown on the final plat shall be expressed in one- hundredths of one foot (0.01') and angles shall be expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds (if necessary). Sufficient geometrical data shall be given for all lots to enable retracement and restoration of all corner positions in the field. The plat officer may require the surveyor to submit rectangular coordinates of all positions represented on the final plat.
7. The exact width and extent of all easements (shown by dashed lines), and purpose of such easements, denoted on plat roads, alleys and building setbacks created by said subdivision.

The name of the primary collector road of a subdivision shall, if possible, be the same as or similar to the name of said subdivision.
