B. Final Plat Information. The final plat submission requirements are as follows.

1. The final plat is consistent in design (e.g., number, area, dimensions of lots, easements, tracts, right-of-way) with the approved preliminary plat, and all conditions of approval have been satisfied.

2. All public improvements required by the preliminary plat have been installed and approved by the City or applicable service provider if different than the City (e.g., road authority, utility provider), or otherwise bonded in conformance with chapter 18.4.6.

3. The streets and roads for public use are dedicated without reservation or restriction other than reversionary rights upon vacation of any such street or road and easements for public utilities.

4. All required streets, access ways, roads, easements, and other dedications or reservations are shown on the plat.

10. A copy of any deed restrictions applicable to the partition or subdivision or the title report.

C. Review Procedure.

1. Review of Final Plat. Upon receipt by the City, the final map and other data shall be reviewed by the City Engineer and Staff Advisor who shall determine whether the subdivision as shown is substantially the same as it appeared on the approved preliminary plat and that there has been compliance with provisions of the law and of this code. The City may make such checks in the field as are desirable to verify that the map is sufficiently correct on the ground and City representatives may enter the property for this purpose. If the City Engineer determines that full conformity has not been made, the applicant shall be advised of the changes or additions that must be made and shall afford the applicant an opportunity to make the changes or additions.

2. Approval of Final Plat. If the Staff Advisor and City Surveyor determine that the final plat is in full conformance with the approved preliminary plat and other regulations, the Staff Advisor and the City Surveyor may then sign the plat without further action by the Planning Commission. If the final plat is not in full conformance with the preliminary plat, the applicant may request changes to the approved preliminary plat or conditions of approval following the procedures and criteria provided in chapter 18.5.6.
