Ch10.§6-2 · City of Nowthen public records

A. The Planning & Zoning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the preliminary plat. Notice of the hearing shall be published in the official newspaper at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing and shall be sent to all property owners within one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet of any boundary of the subdivision by the City Clerk. At the hearing, all persons present and interested in the subdivision shall be given an opportunity to make presentations. B. Within thirty (30) days from the time of the hearing, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall forward its recommendation to the City Council. The Planning & Zoning Commission, in its review of the preliminary plat, will take into consideration the requirements of the City and the best use of the land being   subdivided. The Planning & Zoning Commission shall evaluate the subdivision as to conformance with the adopted Zoning Ordinance and to the goals and policies set out in the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning & Zoning Commission may recommend the approval, disapproval, or conditioned approval of the preliminary plat and the conditions for such approval. In the case of disapproval or conditioned approval, the reasons for such recommendations shall be stated in the report. C. Upon receipt of the Planning & Zoning Commission's report, the City Council may consider approval of the preliminary plat proposed in the application, subject to receipt of an acceptable final plat and other stipulated conditions. If the City Council disapproves the plat, they shall set forth the reasons and provide the subdivider with a copy. If the plat is disapproved, the subdivider may submit a new preliminary plat. The findings and grounds for City Council action shall be set forth in City Council meeting minutes. D. Minnesota State Statutes require that the City Council must approve or disapprove the plat within one hundred twenty (120) days following the delivery of an application completed in compliance with the City Code by the applicant to the City, unless an extension of the review period has been agreed to by the applicant. If the City Council fails to preliminarily approve or disapprove an application within the review period, the application shall be deemed preliminarily approved and, upon demand, the City Council shall execute a certificate to that effect. E. After preliminary plat approval by the City, the preliminary plat must be approved by the Anoka County Planning and Advisory Commission. Four (4) copies of the preliminary plat and a copy of the recommendations of the City Council shall be sent to the Anoka County Planning and Advisory Commission not later than ten (10) days before their next regularly scheduled meeting.
