At least two weeks prior to the date of meeting at which it is to be considered by the Commission or Executive Director, certain reproductions of the secondary plat, which may include all or only a portion of the approved primary plat, shall be submitted to the Area Plan Commission Office according to the following instructions. A replat, limited to changing lot lines not increasing the number of lots, or adding additional area, or a subdivision with no substantial change from the approved primary plat, may be approved by the Executive Director after obtaining a sign-off by the County Highway Engineer that the subdivision meets all the approved street construction plans (i.e., the County Highway Engineer certifies that all improvements have been made or establishes a dollar amount for an irrevocable letter of credit covering the cost of improvements yet to be completed), the County Surveyor that the subdivision meets all the approved drainage plan approvals (i.e., the County Surveyor certifies that all improvements have been made or establishes a dollar amount for an irrevocable letter of credit covering the cost of improvements yet to be completed), and receipt of an irrevocable letter of credit covering the cost of improvements yet to be completed in the amount specified by the County Highway Engineer and County Surveyor. It is at the discretion of the Executive Director if the secondary plat must be presented to the Commission.
