SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Plat approval. Requires the planning commission to identify all deficiencies in a plat that cause disapproval and identify all modifications or corrections as will permit approval of the plat. Deficiencies not identified in the initial disapproval shall be waived. The local planning commission shall act on any proposed plat within 45 days of modification, correction and submittal, rather than 60 days. The failure to act within 45 days or to state the reasons for disapproval shall cause the plat to be deemed approved. The commission shall act on any proposed plat that it has previously disapproved within 30 days after the plat has been resubmitted for approval.
