§ 152.021 FINAL PLAT.
   (A)   Application procedure; approval; major subdivisions. The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved by the Planning Commission. If desired by the subdivider, the final plat may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he or she proposes to record and develop at the time. The final plat shall conform to the requirements of § 152.037.
   (B)   Written request. The subdivider shall submit a written application for approval of the plat along with a reproducible copy and five black line or blue print copies of the final plat and two copies of the final construction plans to the Commission. All covenants, deed restrictions, reservations, grants and easements should accompany the final plat in a form suitable for recording. Such application shall be submitted not less than 15 days prior to the regular monthly meeting of the Commission at which the application is to be considered.
   (C)   Review. Prior to consideration of the final plat application by the Commission, the Village Engineer shall review the plat and the accompanying construction plans to determine its conformance to engineering specifications and improvement plans proposed in the preliminary plat. The Commission staff shall also review the final plat application and determine its conformance or nonconformance with the lot layout, street design and other proposals contained in the approval or disapproval of the plat in writing to the Commission for its consideration.
   (D)   Date for decision. The Commission shall review the final plat and approve or disapprove the plat within 30 days from the date of the regular meeting at which the plat is presented for its review.
      (1)   Prior to approval, the Commission shall ascertain that satisfactory arrangements have been made by the subdivider as outlined in §§ 152.070 and 152.071 to provide for the financing and inspection of required
public improvements.
      (2)   If approved, the Commission shall indicate such approval of the final plat by the signature of its Chairperson or Secretary.
      (3)   Approval of the final plat by the Commission shall not indicate public acceptance of any lands, rights-of-way or easements shown on the plat.
      (4)   The Commission shall then transmit the reproducible copy and four prints of the final plat along with the certificate of title to Council or, in the case of a subdivision outside the corporate limits of the village, to the County Commissioners, for such action as may be necessary on any proposed dedication. Thereupon, Council or the County Commissioners, as the case may be, shall transmit the reproducible copy and three approved prints thereof to the Commission for the subdivider, the Engineer and, where appropriate, the County Engineer.
   (5)   If the Commission disapproves the final plat it shall forward a written report to the subdivider stating the reasons for such disapproval.
