  § 728.07. Final plat application procedures.  

Latest version.

  • Final plats shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved. If desired by the applicant, the final plat may constitute only a portion of an approved preliminary plat provided that such portion conforms to all requirements of these obligations. At the time the final plat is submitted for approval, the applicant shall provide a maintenance bond or other acceptable performance guarantee for a period of 12 months after the final plat is approved in the amount of 10% of the total cost of the subdivision improvements. The applicant shall be responsible for repairing streets and related subdivision improvements which may be damaged or fail due to improper installation for a period of 12 months from the date of the final plat approval by the Mayor and Council. All required subdivision improvements shall comply with Public Law 101-336, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Any improvements which do not comply with said Act shall be redone at the applicant's expense and final approval of the plat shall not be given until such work is completed in compliance with the Act. All plans submitted to the City for review shall contain a certificate that said improvements fully comply with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990. Public Law 101-336, as amended and the City will rely upon such certificate in approving preliminary and final plats.

    A.

    The final plat and supplementary data shall be submitted to the Development Services Director within 12 months after approval of the preliminary plat, otherwise the approval of the preliminary plat shall become null and void unless an extension of time is applied for and granted by the City Council.

    B.

    The Public Works Director and Development Services Director shall investigate the final plat and supplementary data to determine whether it conforms to the approved preliminary plat (including any required changes) and all other city regulations. The final plat and supplementary data shall be submitted to the Development Services Department for review by all relevant city staff. Each department will either approve or reject the plat with written comments within 45 days of receipt. If not recommended for approval, the applicant shall revise the plat and resubmit until deemed in compliance with all necessary codes. Once staff concludes their review and recommends approval of the final plat, the final plat shall automatically be placed on the next City Council meeting agenda, regular or called, for their consideration. If the plat in question is approved, either as is or as amended, the plat shall be approved as per the motion. If the plat is not approved, it shall be referred back to the Development Services Director for modification and resubmission by the developer/applicant, and the process shall start over.

    C.

    Within 30 days of approval of the final plat by the Mayor and Council, the applicant shall have a copy of the final plat recorded by the Clerk of the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia. The original plat shall be returned to the submitting surveyor or engineer only after the Public Works Director has received a reproducible copy of the final plat to be filed in the City records.
