Upon approval, the development plat shall be filed at the county by the City Secretary in the same manner as described for a final plat, and approval of a development plat shall expire if all filing materials are not submitted to the City Administrator (or designee) and if the plat is not filed at the county within the time periods specified for a final plat.
