(1) Approve the final preliminary plat, if the proprietor has met all conditions laid down for tentative approval of the preliminary plat; and
(2) Instruct the City Clerk to promptly notify the proprietor of approval or rejection in writing and, if rejected, give the reasons.
(E) Final approval of a preliminary plat by the City Council under this section shall constitute acceptance thereof as the basis for preparation of the final plat and be valid for two years. The two-year period may be extended, if applied for by the proprietor and granted by Council in writing. Written notice of the extension shall be sent by the City Clerk to the other approving authorities.
