Final approval of a subdivision plat is validated by the signatures of the appropriate city and county officials pursuant to Idaho Code title 50 and all applicable provisions of this code. All final plats submitted to the city must comply with the "essentials of plats" pursuant to Idaho Code section 50-1304 and applicable city engineering and survey standards.
A. After city staff approves substantial conformity and completeness for the final plat application, a meeting will be scheduled for city council consideration for approval.
B. Subject to city council consideration and approval and prior to recording, the final plat is subject to the following review process:
1. A full sized copy, drawn to scale, will be submitted to the city surveyor for review and comment.
2. The city surveyor will review the final plat for compliance with applicable survey provisions of Idaho Code and this title.
3. The city surveyor will return the submitted copy with review comments to the subdivider's surveyor within thirty (30) days of submittal.
a. If corrections are required, a corrected copy and the original copy with comments will be resubmitted to the city surveyor for review.
b. Subsequent reviews, if required by the city surveyor, shall be subject to additional review fees.
4. Upon receiving authorization from the city surveyor, the subdivider may submit the final plat to the surveyor for the county for review.
5. Upon receiving authorization from the surveyor for the county, the subdivider may submit the final plat on Mylar film to the city surveyor in order to obtain the authorized city signatures.
6. After all required city signatures are affixed to the final plat, the subdivider will be notified that the final plat may be picked up and presented to the county for recording.
C. The approval of the final subdivision plat by the city, as signified by the signatures of the appropriate city officials, does not constitute the city's acceptance of, or the responsibility for, any public facilities, improvements or infrastructure associated with the development and construction of the subdivision.
D. Expiration of the approval to record the final plat shall be two (2) years from the date of approval by the city council. Failure to record an approved plat within the designated time period serves to void the prior review and approval process and will result in requiring the submittal of a new subdivision application.
