Fulton Rights and privileges of subdivider ordinance (§ 102-35)

Preliminary plat approval shall confer the following rights and privileges upon the subdivider:

(1) That the preliminary plat will remain in effect for a one-year period from the day the city council approves the same. The applicant may, during this period, submit all or part or parts of said preliminary plat for final approval. If the subdivision is being developed in stages, the applicant may, by written mutual agreement with the city council, have final approval of the last part of the plat delayed for a period not to exceed five years from the date of the preliminary plat approval. Any part of a subdivision which is being developed in stages shall contain a tract of land at least one block in area.

(2) That the general terms and conditions under which the preliminary plat approval was granted will not be changed for final approval.

(3) The applicant may also proceed with any detailed improvement plans required for all facilities or utilities intended to be provided. Actual construction of such facilities and improvements may commence prior to final plat approval if the detailed improvement plans have been approved by the city engineer, provided that such facilities and improvements will be inspected throughout their construction, and final plat approval will be contingent in part upon acceptable compliance with city improvement and facilities standards. If the applicant does not submit the improvement

plans prior to the submission of the final plat, then he shall submit the improvement plans to the city clerk's office at the time that the final plat is submitted. However, in no instance shall a final plat be approved prior to the city engineer approving the improvement plans for said final plat.
