16.50.010 Final plat procedure.
A. The final plat shall comply with the requirements of this chapter and shall be submitted to the community development department director within 24 months of preliminary plat approval.
B. The final plat shall be approved by the community development department director when the final plat meets the conditions of preliminary approval, the requirements of this chapter and Chapters 16.70 and 16.80 KIBC as required, except that the commission reserves the right to require final review by the commission at its discretion. The final plat may be approved prior to the completion of the improvements required in Chapters 16.70 and 16.80 KIBC upon execution of a subdivision agreement between the subdivider and the borough under KIBC 16.50.015. The community development department director shall report approvals at the next regular commission meeting.
1. The community development department director shall approve or deny the final plat within 20 working days after acceptance and shall notify the subdivider by letter of the action with an official statement of findings and reasons for the action. Final plats submitted by native corporations subject to PL 100-241 shall be approved or denied within 45 working days after acceptance due to the federal requirement that tax information be provided to the corporation 30 days prior to approval of the final plat.
2. A final plat differing substantially from the approved preliminary plat shall require submittal to the commission for public hearing and approval. The community development department director shall make comments and recommendations in writing and shall submit them to the commission at least six working days prior to the commission meeting to consider the final plat.
3. If action is not taken on the plat within 20 working days from the date of acceptance, the plat shall be deemed to have been approved and the statement of plat approval designated in KIBC 16.50.050(D) shall be issued on demand; however, the applicant for plat approval may consent to the extension of such period.
4. Upon approval of a final plat and signing by the manager and the clerk as provided in KIBC 16.50.050, the original shall be filed with the district recorder within two working days by the clerk.
C. The final plat shall constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which is proposed to be recorded and developed at the time.
D. Approval of the final plat shall be dependent upon receipt of a certificate to plat issued by a licensed title insurance company prepared within six months of the date the final plat is submitted, showing the legal and equitable owners (including mortgagees, deed of trust beneficiaries, contract purchasers and fee owners) of the land to be platted, plus all grants, reservations, covenants, deed restrictions, and easements of record which may condition the use of the property.
