(a) Approved Plans. Approval of final development plans, site plans, and final preliminary subdivision plats shall not be granted prior to approval of the stormwater management plan. Upon approval of the storm water management plan, the Planning Commission chair, or the chair’s designee, shall sign three copies thereof. One signed copy shall be made a part of the Village’s files; one copy shall be forwarded to the Village Engineer; and, one copy shall be returned to the applicant. Planning Commission approval shall expire two years from the date of such approval, unless construction has commenced and proceeds satisfactorily. An applicant may request from the Planning Commission unlimited one-year extensions of the plan approval, provided such request is applied for in writing prior to the date of expiration of plan approval. The Planning Commission shall grant the request if plan requirements and standards, including those of this chapter that are reasonably related to the earth change, have not changed.
(b) Amendments. Amendments to an approved stormwater management plan may occur only under the following circumstances:
(1) The holder of an approved plan shall notify the Village Clerk of any proposed amendment to such approved plan.
(2) Minor changes may be approved by the Village Administration upon certification in writing to the Planning Commission that the proposed revision does not alter the basic design nor any specified conditions of the plan as agreed upon by the Planning Commission. Minor changes shall be considered:
A. Any change that does not decrease the effectiveness of approved stormwater facilities.
B. Any change that does not cause an increase in runoff rate and/or volume.
C. Any change deemed to be minor as determined by the Planning Commission from time to time.
(3) Should the Village Administration determine that the requested modification to the approved plan is not minor, then the applicant shall submit a new plan for review as required by this chapter.
