§ 17-3-304. Completion of subdivision.


Latest version.
  • (a) Action required by developer within twelve months. Within 12 months after the date of approval of a final plan, a developer shall:
    (1) satisfactorily address all remaining comments of the Office of Planning and Zoning and reviewing agencies; and
    (2) prepare, execute, and deliver at one time a forestation agreement, a digital copy of the proposed record plat that satisfies digital plat specifications posted on the County website, and all other deeds, easements, rights-of-way, bonds, fees, homeowners association and community association documents, and other documents required by this article.
    (b) Public works agreement. A recorded plat and all related approvals, including adequate public facilities and utility allocation approvals, shall be null and void unless a public works agreement, accompanied by security in the amount required by Title 11, is executed and delivered simultaneously with the approval of the plat or no later than twelve months after the recordation of the record plat. If a recorded plat is rendered void under this subsection, the developer shall thereafter conform to all County laws in effect at the time a new application for subdivision is submitted. For any recorded plat rendered void under this subsection, the Office of Planning and Zoning shall prepare and record an appropriate notice that the record plat is void.
    (c) Change of use of mobile home park. If the subdivision is a change of use of a mobile home park, the proposed record plat may not be recorded until the developer provides confirmation satisfactory to the Office of Planning and Zoning that any relocation assistance required to be paid to residents has been fully paid.
    (d) Authority to extend time periods. Notwithstanding any modifications granted to allow for additional time to complete a subdivision, upon receipt of a written request made not less than 15 days before the re-submittal deadline in subsection (a), the Planning and Zoning Officer shall grant a time extension of 60 days for re-submittal. Decisions on whether to extend time under this subsection do not require a modification, and may not be appealed to the Board of Appeals.
    (e) Effect of failure to meet time requirement. An application for final plan approval and the approval of a final plan are void if the developer fails to complete the actions required by subsection (a) within 12 months after the date of final plan approval or within the time specified by the Office of Planning and Zoning under subsection (d).
    (f) Recording. The County shall record among the land records the proposed record plat and other documents appropriate for recording.
