§ 50-531. Generally.

With the adoption of these regulations, there will be only one procedure for platting. The unrecorded plat recording process has been eliminated. The usual procedure for submission of a subdivision plat shall consist of the following four steps, the first of which is optional:

(1)

Presubmission conference (optional). In the case of large and complex subdivisions or conditions, the subdivider is encouraged to apply for a presubmission conference with the development department prior to submitting any preliminary plat or incurring any substantial costs.

(2)

Preliminary plat. The purpose of the preliminary plat is to enable the subdivider to submit his request and provide the planning commission, other county agencies and departments, and the board of county commissioners the opportunity to conduct a review of the preliminary proposed plan for conformance with regulations and requirements of the county or other governmental departments or agencies.

(3)

Construction permit. The purpose of the construction permit is to provide the county and any other governmental departments or agencies with the opportunity to review an applicant's proposed improvements for compliance with all applicable regulations and requirements of the county or other governmental departments or agencies, to require modifications when applicable, and to approve such improvements within a reasonable time when the improvements meet all such regulations and requirements.

(4)

Final plat. The final plat shall be submitted in a form acceptable for filling as a public record in accordance with this division. After review and recommendation by the planning commission, other county and state agencies and departments, and the board of county commissioners, and if approved thereby, it shall be accepted and filed for record into the public records of the county.
