§ 154.026 FINAL PLAT REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCEDURES.

   (A)   Final plat submittal requirements.

      (1)   A final plat is required for all major subdivision requests. Following the approval of the preliminary plat by Board of Commissioners and other required plans, a final plat must be approved before recording in the office of Rutherford County Register of Deeds.

      (2)   No street shall be accepted and maintained by the town; water or sewer be extended to or connected with any subdivision of land as defined herein; and no permit shall be issued by any administrative agent or department of the town for the construction of any building or other improvement requiring a permit upon any land concerning which a plat is required to be approved unless in conformance with division (A)(6) below.

      (3)   The final plat must be prepared by a registered land surveyor licensed to practice in the state.

      (4)   The final plat must conform to the approved preliminary plat and may cover only that portion of the preliminary plat proposed for recordation, together with all improvements, rights-of-way and easements needed to support the lots shown.

      (5)   The final plat must have the required certificates and statements entered on the face of the plat in conformance with provisions listed in §§ 154.027 and 154.028.

      (6)   A final plat may not be approved until all required improvements have been installed and accepted by the town or a performance guarantee has been provided in accordance with § 154.042 and a note referencing the guarantee is placed on the final plat to be recorded.

   (B)   Final plat review and approval.

      (1)   The Subdivision Review Administrator shall review the final plat for conformance with the approved preliminary plat and all other requirements. If the final plat conforms substantially to the approved preliminary plat and all applicable provisions of this and other town codes are met, the Subdivision Administrator shall approve the final plat.

      (2)   If the final plat does not substantially conform to the approved preliminary plat or all applicable provisions of this and other town regulations are not met, the plat shall be returned to the applicant with errors and deficiencies noted, and the applicant shall resubmit a revised preliminary plat and follow the procedures for review and approval in § 154.025.

      (3)   Once the final plat has been approved the applicant can make a request to the Board of Commissioners for the dedication of right-of-way or the conveyance of easement of public improvements.
