Subdivision 8-2 FINAL PLAT: Review of Final Plat

The ALUA shall review the final plat application at staff level within 20 business days of submission of a complete final application. 1. In reviewing the final subdivision land use application, the ALUA may require: a. additional information relating to an applicant's plans to ensure compliance with County ordinances and approved standards and specifications for construction of public improvements; and b. modifications to plans that do not meet current ordinances, applicable standards or specifications, or do not contain complete information. 2. The ALUA’s request for additional information or modifications to plans under Subsection 1(a) or (b) shall be specific and include citations to all County ordinances, standards, or specifications that require the modifications to plans, and shall be logged in an index of requested modifications or additions. 3. If an applicant makes a material change to a plan set, the ALUA has the discretion to restart the review process at the 1st review of the final application, but only with respect to the portion of the plan set that the material change substantively effects. 4. If an applicant does not submit a revised plan within 20 business days after the ALUA requires a modification or correction, the ALUA shall have an additional 20 business days to respond to the plans. 5. After the applicant has responded to the final review cycle, and the applicant has complied with each modification requested in the ALUA’s previous review cycle, the ALUA may not require additional revisions if the applicant has not materially changed the plan, other than changes that were in response to requested modifications or corrections. a. In addition to revised plans, an applicant shall provide a written explanation in response to the ALUA’s review comments, identifying and explaining the applicant's revisions and reasons for declining to make revisions, if any. b. The applicant's written explanation shall be comprehensive and specific, including citations to applicable standards and ordinances for the design and an index of requested revisions or additions for each required correction. c. If an applicant fails to address a review comment in the response, the review cycle is not complete and the subsequent review cycle by the ALUA may not begin until all comments are addressed. 6. If, on the 4th or final review, the ALUA fails to respond within 20 business days, the ALUA shall, upon request of the property owner, and within 10 business days after the day on which the request is received: a. for a dispute arising from the subdivision improvement plans, assemble an appeal panel in accordance with UCA 17-27a-507(5)(d) et seq. to review and approve or deny the final revised set of plans. Unless otherwise agreed by the applicant and the municipality, the panel shall consist of the following three experts: i. one licensed engineer, designated by the ALUA; ii. one licensed engineer, designated by the land use applicant; and iii. one licensed engineer, agreed upon and designated by the two designated engineers as appointed in subsection (a) i and ii of this section. b. A member of the panel assembled by the ALUA under Subsection i may not have an interest in the application that is the subject of the appeal. c. The land use applicant shall pay: i. 50% of the cost of the panel; and ii. the ALUA's published appeal fee; or 7. for a dispute arising from the subdivision ordinance review, advise the applicant, in writing, of the deficiency in the application and of the right to appeal the determination to a designated appeal authority.
