It shall contain the necessary documents as may be necessary concerning the form of guarantees or performance bond to be used. The final plat shall retain the overall characteristics of the preliminary plan and may include all or part of the area shown on the preliminary plan. The Zoning Administrator shall refer the original drawing and two copies of the final plat to the Plan Commission, and one copy of the final plat to the Superintendent of Utilities, at least ten days prior to their next regularly scheduled meeting for recommendation as to final approval. In the event of a special problem, the Plan Commission shall notify the owner or subdivider as to the time and place of the Plan Commission meeting at which time he or she will be afforded an opportunity of being heard.

The Plan Commission shall review the final plat and plans and transmit their report of findings and recommendations to the Village Board within 30 days of the filing date of the final plat. The action of the Plan Commission, whether approval or disapproval of the final plat, as well as the date of the action, shall be noted in writing and attached to the final plat. If the final plat is disapproved, the reasons why shall be so stated.
(C) Village Board action. The Village Board shall take action on the final plat within 60 days from the date of the subdivider's filing of the last required document or other paper or within 60 days from the date of the subdivider's filing application for approval of the final plat, whichever date is later, unless the time is extended by written mutual consent.
(D) Disapproval. If the final plat is disapproved by the Village Board, the reasons for that action shall be noted in writing by resolution, stating the reasons for disapproval, specifying with particularity the aspects in which the final plat fails to conform with the village's ordinances.
(E) Posting performance bond. If the final plat is approved by the Village Board, the final plat shall be held by the Village Clerk until such time the subdivider posts a performance guarantee bond.
(F) Receipt.
(1) Upon receipt of the performance guarantee or bond, the Mayor shall affix his or her signature to the final plat and attach thereto a notation that the final plat has received final approval of the Village Board; the Clerk shall attest the signature of the Mayor and affix the seal and attach a certified copy of the Village Board's resolution of approval to the approved final plat.
(2) If the performance guarantee or bond is not posted by the subdivider within 60 days from the date of approval of the final plat by the Village Board, approval of the final plat shall expire and become null and void.
