Title - This document shall be known as the "Subdivision Regu- lations of the Salina City Planning Commission of Salina, I Kansas", and may be cited as such, I Purpose B. The control of land subdivision is an integral part of I orderly community development. Once land has been I divided into streets, lots, and blocks, and publicly recorded, the correction of defects in this division I I is difficult and costly. The purpose of this document is to set forth rules and regulations for the division of real property so that each subdivision shall be I properly coordinated with the overall city street, utility, and development plans. These requirements I I shall be considered to be minimum standards in their interpretation and application. They are designed to provide for a permanently wholesome community environ- I ment, efficient and adequate municipal services, safe streets, and a sound and balanced development of the I area.

Upon receipt of the Preliminary Plat, the City I Planning Commission shall examine said plat for con- I formity to these regulations and the City Plan. At this time, the secretary of the City Planning Commission I shall notify all owners of adjacent unplatted properties, I in writing, of the proceedings in effect. At this time the City Planning Commission may refer the Preliminary I 9 I I I I Plat to the City Engineer who will examine the plat to assure that the layout of streets, alleys, and ease- I ments, the naming of streets and the numbering of lots and blocks conform with these regulations and with I policies established by the City Engineer. The City I Planning Commission shall then examine the plat and any comments of the City Engineer. If the plat does I not meet all requirements for approval by the City Planning Commission, it will be returned to the Sub- I divider for modification, along with a written list I of required changes and other pertinent comments. Upon modification, incorporating the changes required by the I City Planning Commission, the Preliminary Plat shall be resubmitted directly to the City Planning Commission by I the Subdivider. When the City Planning Commission concludes that the Preliminary Plat meets all require- I ments pertinent to the approval of such a plat, they I shall approve the Preliminary Plat, return it to the Subdivider, and so state their approval to the Sub- I divider in writing. I 3. When the Subdivider has obtained the approval of the Preliminary Plat (including all changes and modifi- I cations) by both the City Planning Commission and the I County Planning Commission, he may submit a Final Plat to the City Planning Commission. This Final Plat shall I conform to and be accompanied by a copy of the approved Preliminary Plat. lO I I I 4. The Final Plat shall be submitted to the City Plan- I ning Commission in the form of an original drawing with I all appropriate signatures affixed thereto. Should the Final Plat be submitted later than one year after the I date of approval of the Preliminary Plat, the Preliminary Plat may be subject to review and the original approval I deemed null and void at the discretion of the City Plan- I ning Commission. Upon receipt of the Final Plat, the City Planning Commission shall examine said plat for I conformity to these regulations, the City Plan, and the approved Preliminary Plat. The City Planning I Commission shall take action, either approval or I disapproval, within sixty (60) days of the submittal of the Final Plat.

Upon approval by the City Commission, the appropriate I signatures shall be affixed and the original drawing returned to the Subdivider. I I 11 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I B. The procedure for the review, approval and registration of subdivision plats of areas within the planning juris- diction of the City of Salina which abut the corporate limits of the City shall be as follows: 1. Same procedure as outlined in subparagraph A-l of this Section, except that proof of approval of the Pre- liminary Plat by the County Planning Commission is not required. 2.

City Engineer - one contact reproducible and one dark line print. Secretary of the City Planning Commission - one dark line print. D. The responsibility to initiate action on Preliminary and Final Plats before the City and County organizations responsible for plat approval shall be the sole responsi- bility of the Subdivider. He is encouraged to maintain sufficient contact with the City Engineer to insure that all provisions and requirements of subdividing are met prior to submitting plats to the various Commissions. This will insure that plat approvals will be obtained in the most expeditious manner possible which will prove of mutual benefit to the Commissions and the Subdivider. E. The responsibility to comply with the provisions of Paragraph C of this Section shall lie wholly with the Subdivider. Failure to comply with the provisions of 13 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Paragraph C within thirty (30) days after filing the plat with the Register of Deeds of Saline County or failure to file the plat within two years of final approval of the City Commission shall render all approvals granted by the City Commission or the City Planning Commission null and void.
