(a) The final plat shall be filed with the City Planning Commission not later than twelve months after the date of approval of the preliminary plat; otherwise it will be considered void unless an extension of time is requested by the developer and granted in writing by the Commission. (Ord. 77-55. Passed 9-6-77.)
(b) The Commission shall approve or disapprove the final plat within thirty days of the first meeting at which it is brought before the Commission. Failure of the Commission to act upon the final plat within such time shall be deemed approval of the plat. If the plat is disapproved, the grounds for disapproval shall be stated in the records of the Commission, and a copy of such record shall be forwarded to the subdivider. The Commission shall not disapprove the final plat if the developer has done everything that he was required to do and has proceeded in accordance with the conditions and standards specified in the approved preliminary plat. If disapproved, the subdivider shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the final plat within the thirty days to the Commission for its final approval. If a plat is refused by the Commission, the person submitting the plat which the Commission refused to approve may file a petition within ten working days after such refusal in the Court of Common Pleas of the county in which the land described in such plat is situated to reconsider the action of the Commission.
(Ord. 95-18. Passed 5-1-95.)
(c) Upon approval of the final plat by the Commission, the original tracing shall be returned to the subdivider for filing with the County Recorder after all necessary certifications are received. If the final plat has not been recorded within three months, the preliminary plat must again be submitted to the Commission for approval.
(d) The final plat, after it is recorded, shall be filed and retained in the office of the Engineer.
(Ord. 77-55. Passed 9-6-77.)
