(b) The Commission shall review final subdivision plats and make a recommendation to the Village Council regarding approval of said plats within a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed thirty days from the date of submittal, unless an extension of time is agreed to by the sub-divider. The Commission may request comments from the Village Engineer or other officials or experts whose advice may be helpful in evaluating the subdivision proposal. The plat, together with the Commission's recommendation, shall then be forwarded to Council.
(c) Upon receipt of the subdivision plat and the recommendation of the Planning Commission, Council shall schedule the plat for review at a Council meeting and shall, within a reasonable period of time, either approve, conditionally approve with stipulations, or disapprove the plat.
(d) Should Council approve or conditionally approve the plat, the sub-divider shall install the improvements required by the approval, submit to the Zoning Officer a cost estimate for completion of all public improvements associated with the subdivision, or install a portion of the improvements and submit a cost estimate for the completion of the improvements.
