A. The final plat shall conform to the preliminary plat as approved by the commission and, if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he proposed to record and develop at the time, provided, however, that such portion conforms to all requirements of these regulations.

B. The final plat shall be submitted within one year after the approval of the preliminary plat. Otherwise, the approval of the preliminary plat shall become null and void unless an extension of time is granted by the commission in writing.

C. To receive consideration at the next regular meeting of the commission, the final plat must be filed with the city clerk not less than 10 days prior to such regular meeting.

When more than one sheet is required, an index shall be filed showing the entire subdivision with the streets in numerical order, and each sheet showing the total number (e.g., sheet 1 of 3).

G. The commission shall approve or disapprove the plat of subdivision or dedication within 60 days after the filing thereof with the city clerk, or shall return such plat to the applicant for modification or correction within 60 days after the filing thereof; otherwise, such plat shall be deemed to have been approved, and a certificate to that effect shall be issued by the commission on demand; provided, however, that the applicant for plat approval may consent to the extension of such period; and further provided, the actual signing of the approval certificate shall not be completed until the plat is approved by motion of the city council. The ground of disapproval of any plat shall be stated upon the record of the commission, and the applicant shall be advised of the commission’s disapproval in writing with the return of seven copies of the plat.

H. When the final plat has been approved by the commission, two copies shall be returned to the subdivider with the approval of the commission certified thereon, one for filing with the office of the precinct recorder and the other to be returned to the commission with the precinct recorder’s certification of recording appearing thereon. The original tracing containing the certification by the commission will be retained by the city clerk. Prints will be furnished by the city at cost.
