§ 40-50. Final plat.
(a)
The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved; and, if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he proposes to record and develop at the time, provided, however, that such portion conforms to all requirements of these regulations.
(b)
At least ten calendar days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered, the subdivider shall submit the original drawing in black drawing ink and six copies (black and white prints or blue line prints) together with a street profile or other plans that may be required by the planning commission.
(1)
The plat shall be drawn to a scale of one inch equals not more than 100 feet on a tracing cloth, or paper, or file sheets not larger than 22 by 34 inches. When more than one sheet is required, an index sheet of the same size shall be filed showing the entire subdivision with the streets lettered in alphabetical order as a key. When the plat has been approved by the planning commission, two copies will be returned to the subdivider with the approval of the planning commission certified thereon for filing with the clerk of the appropriate court as the official plat of record which must be filed within 90 calendar days; otherwise, such approval shall be voided.

(c)
The planning commission shall approve or disapprove this final plat within 60 calendar days after its submission.
