(4) Action by Council. Upon receipt of the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Council shall consider the application and, after holding public hearings as it deems desirable, shall approve or disapprove the application with changes of conditions, if any, as it may deem appropriate. This may include the requirement for a development contract between the city and the applicant; refusal of any of the changes or conditions shall constitute denial of the application by the City Council. Failure of the applicant to notify the City Council of his or her acceptance or refusal of the modifications to the preliminary plat constitute acceptance of these conditions. The City Council shall approve or disapprove the plat within 120 days from the application by the subdivider unless the city grants itself an automatic extension of time or the time period is otherwise extended by agreement. (D) Final plat. (1) Within 180 days from receiving the last required approval of the preliminary plat by the City Council, the developer shall submit an application for final approval to the Administrator, as set forth in these regulations. The application shall be accompanied by: (a) One copy of the plat which is to be recorded; (b) Ten prints of the plat for city record; (c) A certified check or money order in an amount to cover the final fees; (d) A certificate that all improvements required by these regulations and all other applicable city ordinances have been installed in strict accordance with the standards of construction of the city; or a guarantee that the improvements will subsequently be installed by the owner, in the form of a bond that will cover the cost of improvements as estimated by the City Engineer or Council. Failure to provide this data within the 90-day period shall render null and void the approval of the preliminary plat. An extension of this time period may be granted by the City Council on request of the developer; and (e) Final plat will not be approved until developer gets approval from Rice Creek Watershed. (2) Action by Administrator. The Administrator shall send one copy of each of the final data to the City Attorney for review. (3) Action by Council. Upon receipt of the reports of the City Engineer and City Attorney, the Council shall consider approval of the final plat. Following approval by the Council, the Mayor or other authorized person shall endorse the plat and the Administrator shall return it to the applicant. If the final plat is not in substantial compliance with the regulations and conditions set forth, the Administrator shall return the final plat to the applicant with an attached statement identifying the areas of noncompliance. The City Council shall approve or disapprove the plat within 60 days of staff reports. 32
