Section 16.16.060 Final plat approval.
A. The city shall approve or disapprove
the final plat within forty-five (45) days of its
presentation to the director of community development. The director of community development
shall examine the final subdivision plat and shall recommend approval only when it conforms to
the conditions of approval set forth on the preliminary plat and to the terms of the Montana
Subdivision and Platting Act and these regulations.
B. The city shall examine every final
subdivision plat and shall approve it when and only
when it conforms to the conditions of approval set forth for the preliminary plat and to the terms
of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act and these regulations.
C. If the final plat is disapproved,
the reasons for disapproval shall be stated in the records
of the city council and a copy forwarded to the applicant. The city shall return the final plat to the
subdivider within ten days of the action. The applicant may then make the necessary corrections
and resubmit the final plat for approval. Approval shall be certified by the city on the face of the
final plat, and the county treasurer shall certify that all taxes have been paid on the land proposed
for subdivision. The acceptance of land dedications shall be made by specific resolution of the
city council and noted on the final plat.

of a plat if it determines that such information provided
by the subdivider, and upon which such decision was made, is inaccurate. (Ord. 131 (part), 1998:
