The question is: How long is the approval valid. I looked at the state code (see language below)
and come up with this interpretation. The plat will be valid until May 18, 2009. If they complete
the streets or bond them we can sign the plat up until that time. I have checked with others and
they agree.
§ 15.2 -2260. Localities may provide for submission of preliminary subdivision plats; how
long valid.
F. Once a preliminary subdivision plat is approved, it shall be valid for a period of five
years, provided the subdivider (i) submits a final subdivision plat for all or a portion of
the property within one year of such approval or such longer period as may be prescribed
by local ordinance, and (ii) thereafter diligently pursues approval of the final subdivision
plat. "Diligent pursuit of approval" means that the subdivider has incurred extensive
obligations or substantial expenses relating to the submitted final subdivision plat or
modifications thereto. However, no sooner than three years following such preliminary
subdivision plat approval, and upon ninety days' written notice by certified mail to the
subdivider, the commission or other agent may revoke such approval upon a specific
finding of facts that the subdivider has not diligently pursued approval of the final
subdivision plat.

This is regarding Orchard Estates project we have worked on in 2005. 1 am trying to track and
understand the current timeline for this project. Yadira was the planner on the project. Kirk
Hughes prepared the plat. We worked on the providing the Engineering drawings. We received
tentative approvals from Engineering pending posting bonds on August 30, 2005. There were
some emails back and forth with regards to plat since then. In October, we have all tentative
approvals pending posting bonds. This was the last update we were provided.
Klugge told us that the bonds haven't been posted yet. Is there an expiry for tentative
approvals? Can we post the bonds now and get the signatures. Can you give us an update on
this project?
Thank you, Sri

Cathy,
Just to update you with the latest. I received a phone call from Yadira on Friday
for some clarification on the Final Plat of Orchard Estates. All I had to do was
change the development rights for TMP 103 -9 (the 2 little parcels noted as P and
Q within Lot 10) to 3 development rights. That is because those tracts are a little
over 6 acres each and by right they can't be divided into parcels less than 2
acres each.
Besides that once the bonds are posted we will have Final Plat approval.
Have a great week,
Thanks,
Rob
