Final approval by the Council of the preliminary plat shall
be a prerequisite to the application for approval of a final plat.
Application for approval of a final plat shall be made by filing
with the Village Manager the following items:
A.
Five copies of the final plat, which have been drawn, executed and
acknowledged in conformance with Sections 131 to 151 of the Land Division
Act (MCLA § 560.131 et seq.) and in conformance with the
approved preliminary plat and which shall have been approved by the
Board of County Road Commissioners, where required, and by the Drain
Commissioner.
C.
A written letter of application for approval of the final plat signed
by the proprietor.
D.
An abstract of title certified to date of the proprietor's certificate
to establish recorded ownership interests and any other information
deemed necessary for the purpose of ascertaining whether the proper
parties have signed the plat, or a policy of title insurance currently
in force covering all the land included within the boundaries of the
proposed subdivision.
E.
The filing and recording fee shall be as set by resolution of the
Village Council.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
F.
A fee to the Village Council for the examination and inspection of
the plat and the land proposed to be subdivided and related expenses
in an amount as set by resolution of the Village Council.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
G.
Two sets of as-built construction plans.
If desired by the proprietor, the final plat may constitute
only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he or she
proposes to record and develop at that time; provided, however, that
such portion conforms to all the requirements of this chapter; provided,
further, that the public improvements to be constructed in the area
covered by the plat are sufficient by and of themselves to accomplish
a proper development and to provide adequately for the health, safety
and welfare of the proposed inhabitants and for adequate access to
contiguous areas.
A.
The Council, at its next regular meeting or at a meeting called within
20 days of the filing of the final plat, shall review the final plat
and approve or disapprove it. If it shall approve the plat, the Village
Manager shall certify on the plat the Council's approval and show
the date of such approval, the Village Manager shall also certify
the Health Department's approval, if required, and the date of its
approval as shown on the preliminary plat. If the Council shall reject
the plat, the Village Manager shall notify the proprietor in writing
of such rejection, giving in such notice the reasons as set forth
in the minutes of the meeting, and the Village Manager shall return
the plat to the proprietor. The Village Manager shall record all proceedings
in the minutes of the meeting, which shall be open to inspection.
If the Council shall reject the final plat, with the notification
of rejection and the plat the Village Manager shall return to the
proprietor the filing and recording fee which accompanied the application
for approval of the final plat.
B.
If the Council shall approve the final plat, the Village Manager
shall promptly deliver the copies of the approved final plat, together
with the filing and recording fee and the state plat review fee, to
the Clerk of the County Plat Board, as provided in Section 241a of
the Land Division Act (MCLA § 560.241a). Approval of the
final plat by the Council shall not be deemed to constitute or effect
an acceptance by the public of the dedication of any street or other
proposed public way or space shown on the public plat.
C.
If and when the final plat is approved by the State Treasurer pursuant
to the Land Division Act and a copy is returned to the Village Manager,
he or she shall file the final plat in his/her office to be kept as
a permanent record.
