§ 45-61. Procedure.

(a)

The subdivider shall prepare a final plat and a letter of application in accordance with this chapter and shall file the application and an adequate number of copies of the plat with the village clerk at least 25 days prior to the meeting of the planning commission at which action is desired.

(b)

Partial platting. The final plat may, if permitted by the planning commission, constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which the subdivider proposes to record at that time.

(c)

If the final plat is not submitted within six months of the last required approval of the preliminary plat, the village board may refuse to approve the final plat.

(d)

The village clerk shall, within two days after filing of the final plat, transmit:

(1)

Four copies to the county park and planning commission;

(2)

Two copies to the department of transportation, if the subdivision abuts or adjoins a state trunk highway or connecting highway;

(3)

Two copies to the department of commerce, if the subdivision is not served by a public sewer and provision for such service has not been made;

(4)

Two copies to the department of natural resources, if shorelands are contained within the proposed subdivision; and

(5)

Two copies to the clerk of each adjoining town or village, if the subdivision lies within the extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction of the village.

(e)

The planning commission shall examine the final plat as to its conformance with the approved preliminary plat, any conditions of approval of the preliminary plat, this chapter, and all ordinances, rules, regulations, adopted regional and village comprehensive plans, and adopted plan components which may affect it, and shall recommend approval, conditional approval, or rejection of the plat to the village board.

(f)

The village planning commission, the department of transportation, the department of commerce, and the department of natural resources shall be hereinafter referred to as objecting agencies. These objecting agencies shall, within 20 days of the date of receiving their copies of the final plat, notify the subdivider and all other approving and objecting agencies of my objections. If there are no objections, they shall so certify on the face of the copy of the plat and shall return that copy to the planning commission. If an objecting agency fails to act within 20 days, it shall be deemed to have no objection to the plat.

(g)

The planning commission shall, within 60 days of the date of filing the original final plat with the village clerk, approve or reject such plat, unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider. If the plat is rejected, the reasons shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a written statement of the reasons forwarded to the subdivider. The village board may not inscribe its approval on the final plat unless the village clerk certifies on the face of the plat that copies were forwarded to objecting agencies as required herein, the date thereof, and that no objections have been filed within 20 days or, if filed, have been met. If the village board fails to act within 60 days, the time having not been extended and no unsatisfied objections having been filed, the plat shall be deemed approved.

(h)

After the final plat has been approved by the village board and required improvements have either been installed or a contract and sureties insuring their installation has been filed, the village clerk shall cause the certificate inscribed upon the plat attesting to such approval to be duly executed and the plat returned to the subdivider for recording with the county register of deeds. The register of deeds cannot record the plat unless it is offered within 30 days from the date of the last approval.

(i)

The subdivider shall file ten copies of the final plat with the village clerk for distribution to the village engineer, village zoning administrator, and other affected departments for their files
