When a final plat is submitted, an applicant shall be required to pay, in order to help cover the cost of administration, a fee as provided by the City of Trotwood City Council. The Planning Commission shall be required to act on a final plat within ninety days after its submission. However, in those instances where substantial fill is required as protection against future flooding, the Planning Commission shall be entitled to delay its decision for a maximum 120-day period of time. When considering approval of a final plat, the Planning Commission shall base its decision on the following findings:
(a) That locations and dimensions of proposed streets, roads and parking areas will be adequate to serve the people living and/or working in the proposed subdivision.
(b) That locations and dimensions of proposed utilities will be adequate to serve the people living and/or working in the proposed subdivision.
(c) That property adjacent to the proposed subdivision will not adversely be affected.
(d) That the City Engineer finds the final plat and any required supplemental information to be in full conformance with the official Subdivision Regulations for the City. Within ninety days of the signing and approval of a final plat, the document shall be recorded with Montgomery County by the developer, in the manner provided for recording plats of subdivisions. Afterwards, the subdivider shall be responsible for returning at least two (2) copies of a properly recorded final plat to the Department of Planning and Development, one copy of which must be on durable material. Only after this has been accomplished will the City be in a position to issue or authorize the issuance of all required zoning and building permits.
