19.20.250 Council determination.
A. The city council shall determine:
1. Whether the final plat is in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plat;
2. Whether the requirements imposed when the preliminary plat was approved have been met;
3. Whether the bond or other surety, if required by the city, is sufficient in its terms to assure completion of improvements; and
4. Whether the requirements of state law and the Algona Municipal Code which were in effect at the time of preliminary plat approval have been satisfied by the applicant.
B. The city council shall approve by ordinance, or disapprove, the proposed final plat. If the city council approves the plat, it shall give final approval and authorize the city engineer, the chairman of the planning commission, the mayor and the city clerk/treasurer, to inscribe and execute written approval on the face of the Mylar depicting the final plat, certifying that the plat complies with all the terms of the preliminary approval of the proposed plat, subdivision or dedication, and the city engineer shall transmit the original plat to the King County auditor for filing, and forward one copy to the city planner/planning director and one copy to the King County assessor. At least one copy of the approved final plat shall be retained in the files of the city engineer.
C. As required by RCW 58.17.170, a subdivision shall be governed by the terms of approval of the final plat and any lots created thereunder shall be deemed to meet lot requirements imposed by the zoning code for a period of no less than five years.
D. The approval of the final subdivision plat by the city council shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by the public of the dedication of any street, or other proposed public way or space, only after such final plat has been recorded by the county auditor.
E. Approval of the final subdivision plat by the city council shall be null and void if the final plat is not recorded within sixty days after the date of approval, unless application for an extension of time is made in writing during the sixty-day period to the city planner and granted by the city planner with the concurrence of the mayor.
