10-21-7: - COMPLETE APPLICATION FOR FINAL SUBDIVISION REVIEW FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING, TWO-FAMILY DWELLING, OR TOWNHOME SUBDIVISION:

A.

Planning Staff Committee Review: Prior to final technical review of the final subdivision plan and plat, the applicant's engineer shall submit the proposed final plat, with any changes and modifications as directed at the preliminary review by the planning commission, along with a letter of certification that each lot meets the requirements of this title to the city planning staff committee. The city planning staff committee, after reviewing the proposed final plat and confirming that all the above fees and financing guarantees have been satisfied, shall review the final subdivision plan and plat for appropriate final action. Review of the final subdivision application and plat may not begin until the preliminary subdivision application has been approved by the administrative land use authority. Under no circumstances may the administrative land use authority grant final approval.

B.

Preparation of Plat: After compliance with the provisions of subsection A. of this section, and sections 10-21-5 and 10-21-6, a final plat of the subdivision covering all or part of an approved preliminary plat shall be prepared by a licensed surveyor not in the employ of the city in conformance with the design standards of section 10-21-13 of this chapter and submitted within one year from the date of preliminary plan approval unless the time is extended by the planning commission; otherwise, such approval shall be considered to have been withdrawn. Four (4) large (24"x36") sized set of prints, one (1) small (11"x17") sized set of prints, and one (1) digital full set submittal of all final plans and of the final plat shall be submitted to the city planning staff committee.

C.

Improvement Plans: Prior to the construction of any improvements required in section 10-21-15 of this chapter, or to the submission of financial guarantees, the applicant shall furnish to the city engineer all subdivision improvement plans, information and data necessary for said improvements. These plans shall be examined by the city engineer and shall be approved if the city engineer determines them to be in accordance with the requirements of section 10-21-15. No construction of buildings may begin until after recording of the final plat.

D.

City Review Cycle Process: The city planning staff committee shall be permitted up to fifteen (15) business days to complete the initial review of the complete final subdivision land use application, including the subdivision improvement plans, the ordinance review, and the plan to provide corrections and review comments thereto. Subdivision plat and plan responses and revisions, as provided by the applicant, may thereafter be re-submitted to the city planning staff committee to address the identified city planning staff committee's corrections and commentaries. However, the city may not review the subdivision plan and plat for more than four (4) total review cycles during the entire subdivision submittal and review process, excluding the preapplication review process if requested by the applicant. During the final review cycle, the city planning staff committee shall be allowed up to twenty (20) business days to take final action and provide the applicant with an official city decision regarding the final plan and plat submittal.

E.

Waiver. Any change or correction that is not addressed or referenced in the city's plan review shall be considered waived unless: the change or correction is necessary to address the applicant's adjustment to a plan set or an update to a phasing plan that adjusts the infrastructure of the specific development; the modification or correction is necessary to protect public health or safety; or to enforce state or federal law. If any requirement of this ordinance or the applicable standards is proposed to be satisfied by relation to or incorporation of components of another phase or related development, the applicant shall enter into a development agreement with Riverdale governing the applicable phases or related development or otherwise modify the application to satisfy all requirements independently.

F.

Effect of Material Changes. If the applicant makes a material change to the plan set, the city may restart the review process as the first review of the final application regarding the portion of the plan set that the material change substantially affects.

G.

Applicant's Failure to Submit Revised Plan. If the city requires a modification or correction of the final application, the applicant must submit the revised plan within twenty (20) business days. Applicant's failure to submit the required modifications or corrections within the twenty (20) business days shall result in an additional twenty (20) business days for the city to respond to the modified or corrected plans.

H.

After the applicant has responded to the final review cycle, in compliance with each modification requested in the city planning staff committee's previous review cycle, the city planning staff committee may not require additional revisions if the applicant has not materially changed the plan, except changes that were in response to previously requested modifications or corrections.

I.

The applicant shall provide a written explanation to each of the city planning staff committee's review comments, identifying, and explaining the applicant's revisions and reasons for declining to make revisions, if any. The written explanation shall be comprehensive and specific, including citations to applicable standards and ordinances for the design, including an index of requested revisions or additions to each required correction. The review process is not considered complete if the applicant fails to address a review comment in the response. The subsequent review cycle may not begin until all comments are addressed.

J.

On the fourth or final review, if the city planning staff committee fails to respond within twenty (20) business days, the city planning staff committee shall, upon request of the applicant, and within ten (10) business days after the request is received:

1.

For a dispute arising from the subdivision improvement plans, coordinate a meeting with the city appeal authority pursuant to Utah Code Annotated Subsection 10-9a-508(5)(d) to review and approve or deny the final revised set of plans; or

2.

For a dispute arising from the subdivision ordinance review, advise the applicant, in writing, of the deficiency in the application and of the right to appeal the determination to the designated appeal authority.

K.

The approved plat shall be so drawn that the top of the drawing faces either north or west, whichever accommodates the drawing best. All lines, dimensions and markings shall be made on the tracing linen with waterproof black drawing ink. The approved plat shall be made to a scale large enough to clearly show all details, in any case not fewer than one hundred feet to the inch (1" = 100'), and workmanship on the finished drawing shall be neat, clean cut and readable.

Expiration of Final Subdivision Plat Approval; Extension of Final Subdivision Plat Approval:

The approval of a final subdivision application shall be effective for a period of one (1) year from the date the final subdivision application is approved by the city planning staff committee, at the end of which time the final subdivision plat shall have been recorded in the office of the Weber County Recorder.

2.

If the approved final subdivision plat is not recorded within the one (1) year period of date of approval, and the city planning staff committee has not extended the approval of the final subdivision plat, the final subdivision approval shall be void and any vested rights thereunder will therefore be void, whereupon the city planning staff committee may require that a new subdivision plat be submitted and approval obtained pursuant to this section. A written request may be submitted to the city planning staff committee prior to expiration of the final subdivision plat for an extension of up to six (6) months. The city planning staff committee may grant such an extension for good cause.
