The <br />Ordinance requires a subdivider 1 year from the date of approval to file a final plat application. If by that <br />date they have not, they may either request an extension, or allow their plat to expire, making their <br />preliminary plat approval null and void. <br />In reviewing the policy associated with granting extensions, the Council noted that a 1 year timeframe in <br />which to apply for a final plat appeared inadequate, and felt a 2 year period more appropriate, and <br />directed staff to prepare an ordinance. <br />Financial Impact <br />None. <br />Attachments <br />Draft Ordinance <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\OA\OA 08-01 Ciry of ER PP Extend\PC preliminary plat extention 1-8-08.doc <br />
