All required improvements shall be constructed within two years of the acceptance of the final plat, subject to unforeseen delays or unless otherwise extended by order of Council. If the development is to be developed in phases, two years for each phase is allowed for completion of construction of required improvements. The City shall provide the developer with written notice of the expiration of the time for construction of improvements at least thirty days prior to such expiration. Such written notice shall also inform the developer of its right to a hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission to provide evidence supporting the existence of unforeseen delays. In the event the developer requests such hearing, no action shall be taken by the City under this provision, until the Planning and Zoning Commission conducts a hearing and makes a determination as to the existence of any such unforeseen delays. If the developer fails to complete the construction of required improvements in accordance with this chapter, and unless unforeseen delays are found by the Planning and Zoning Commission, or unless the plat is otherwise extended by Council, the platting process shall begin anew for the uncompleted phases and previous approvals for such phases shall be null and void. In the event a plat does become null and void in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, the City shall cause a vacation plat, cross-referencing the original plat to be duly recorded with the County Recorder.
