Or 1176, 11-25-1996) 3.0 STAFF COMMENT: 50 3.1 Prior to final plat approval it is assumed that a preliminary plat has been reviewed by the 5 Ramsey County Surveyor so that changes/corrections can be made to plat documents and 52 therefore allow the plat to be signed in a timely manner. However, a number of plats in 2006 5 `31' and 2007 were not completely reviewed and/or signed off by the County Surveyor creating a 54 delay after the Council approval. Then in 2007, Ramsey County adopted new rules impacting 55 plats, thus requiring changes to documents prior to recording. In one such case the plat had 5 Ci, already been signed by the City, but the Code required the plat to be approved again because 57 more than 60 days had passed. 58 5�,, 3.2 Another situation that is apparent is a conflict between the time necessary to have a plat signed by the City (30 days after approval) and the number of days to submit to Ramsey County for recording (180). It is the Planning Division's opinion that this timeline is unnecessary and 2 creates unreasonable pressures on processing what ultimately will be or has been approved. ("JJ3 3.3 The Planning Division would also point out that the current Code fails to clearly delineate the Y. 5 process to achieve signatures once a final plat is approved by the City Council. In the past nine years, the Planning Division is unaware of any plat that has been approved through the process 7 prescribed by the Code. 3.4 The Planning Division supports the elimination of confusing text and the creation of a 70 reasonable timeline for obtaining signatures on the final plat. Thus, we recommend the 7 changes/corrections as noted below. 72 T 4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 7 44 4.1 The City Planner seeks the following amended language to Sections 1011.01 F, G and H of the 75 City Code. 7 Cij 77 F.
