16.08.010 Submission of tentative subdivision plan.
A subdivider shall prepare a tentative plan together with improvement plans and other supplementary material as may be required to indicate the general program and objectives of the project, and shall submit five copies of the tentative plan to the city administrator’s office, along with a filing fee of money sufficient to cover the anticipated expenses, as determined by the city administrator, at least 15 days prior to the planning commission meeting at which consideration of the plan is desired. The expenses shall include city engineer’s review fees, city planning advisor review fees, county surveyor fees, city attorney fees, overhead and administrative expense allocated to the city administrator/planning director, and any other costs incurred by the city in order to review and process the proposed subdivision plan. At any time prior to completion of the approval process, the city administrator may require the deposit of additional fees to cover these expenses or anticipated expenses. The failure of the subdivider to comply with this requirement shall be deemed to constitute the subdivider’s withdrawal of the tentative plan. At the completion of the approval process, any surplus remaining from the total fees deposited shall be refunded to the subdivider. [Ord. 9-91 § 1 (Exh. A § 3), 1990; Ord. 9-57 § 1 (Exh. A § 3), 1981].
