Procedure for approval of plats

Official statutory text

The commission shall approve or disapprove a plat within thirty

(30) days after it has been submitted to the commission; otherwise

the plat shall be deemed to have been approved, and a certificate to

that effect shall be issued by the commission on demand. The

applicant for the commission's approval may waive the thirty-day

requirement and consent to an extension of the period. The ground

for disapproval of any plat shall be stated upon the records of the

commission. Any plat submitted to the commission shall contain the

name and address for a person to whom notice of a hearing shall be

sent, and no plat shall be acted on by the commission without

affording a hearing thereon. Notice shall be sent to the person at

the address by registered mail of the time and place of the hearing

not less than five (5) days before the date fixed therefor. Similar

notice shall be mailed by first-class mail to the owners of land

immediately adjoining the platted land, as their names appear upon

the plats in the county clerk's office and their addresses appear in

the directory of the municipality or on the tax records of the

municipality or county. Every plat approved by the commission, by

virtue of the approval, shall be deemed to be an amendment of or an

addition to or a detail of the municipal plan and a part thereof.

Approval of a plat shall not be deemed to constitute or effect an

acceptance by the public of any street or other open space shown

upon the plat. The commission from time to time may recommend to

the council amendments of the zoning ordinance or map or additions

thereto to conform to the commission's recommendations for the

zoning regulation of the territory comprised within approved

subdivisions. The commission shall have the power to agree with the

applicant upon use, height, area or bulk requirements or

restrictions governing buildings and premises within the

subdivision, provided such requirements or restrictions do not

authorize the violation of the then effective zoning ordinance of

the municipality. The requirements or restrictions shall be stated

upon the plat prior to the approval and recording thereof and shall

have the same force of law and be enforceable in the same manner and

with the same sanctions and penalties and subject to the same power

or amendment or repeal as though set out as a part of the zoning

ordinance or map of the municipality.
