10-3-5: VALIDITY OF PRELIMINARY PLAN; REAFFIRMATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAN:
   A.   The preliminary plan shall be valid for a period of three (3) years after Plan Commission approval. If a final plat has not been submitted to the Plan Commission within said three (3) year period, or if submitted, no final plat is approved, the preliminary plan shall expire.
   B.   If the subdivider has not submitted a final plat within three (3) years after preliminary plan approval, but wishes to avoid expiration of the plan, the subdivider shall seek reaffirmation of the plan by submitting twelve (12) prints to the Village Clerk for review according to the review schedule established by the Plan Commission no later than thirty five (35) months after Plan Commission approval. If the subdivider has submitted a final plat within said three (3) year period but it is not approved during or after the thirty fifth month, the submission required shall be made within one month of such disapproval. In such event, the review process in Section 10-3-3 of this Chapter shall be followed.
   C.   Where reaffirmation of the preliminary plan is sought, the Plan Commission shall require any changes in the plan it deems necessary to meet the requirements of this Title. If the subdivider has not resubmitted the preliminary plan with the required changes to the Commission within thirty (30) days after the Commission meeting requiring changes, or if the resubmitted plan is disapproved, the plan shall expire at that time or at the end of any appeal process provided for in this Title, whichever is later.
   D.   A preliminary plan may be reaffirmed one time. If a final plat has not been submitted to the Plan Commission within three (3) years from the date of the reaffirmation, or if submitted, is not approved, the plan shall expire.
   E.   Final plat approval shall extend the validity of the preliminary plan for three (3) years from the date of final plat approval; provided, that the Plan Commission may require any changes necessary to meet the requirements of this Title, and in such an event, the provisions of subsection C hereof with respect to resubmission shall apply. The preliminary plan may be reaffirmed one time after each final plat approval. If another final plat has not been submitted within three (3) years from the date of the reaffirmation, the preliminary plan shall expire. In the event a preliminary plan expires, a subdivider wishing to proceed with subdivision of the land involved must resubmit a location and sketch map for review and proceed as in the case of an original submittal.
