All Plans and Attachments are subject to Electronic File Standards REVIEW PROCESS: Once the Final Short Plat application is submitted to the Planning Division, the materials will be routed to those City departments having an interest in the application. Reviewers have approximately two weeks to return their comments to the Planning Division. All comments and any requests for revisions will be sent to the applicant. Once all comments have been addressed, the applicant re-submits the revised plans and/or documents for review. The time frame for Final Plat processing is largely dependent upon application completeness and prompt turnaround time of revisions. As part of the review process, the Planning Division will ensure improvements have been installed and approved and that all conditions of the short plat approval have been met. Once the applicant has demonstrated these items have been addressed through either a confirmation of improvement installation approval or letter of deferral, the City will send a written request for the final mylar, courier fees and any associated legal documents. Once all of the City’s required approval signatures have been obtained, the City will transmit the mylar via courier to King County for recording. The entire recording process takes approximately eight weeks to complete. However, the time frame for getting a short plat recorded is largely dependent upon: The Environmental Review Committee will either issue a:  Application completeness  Prompt turnaround time for revisions  Whether all improvements have been installed and approved  All conditions of the short plat approval have been met Note: Lots cannot legally be sold until the Short Plat has received its recording number. DEFERRAL OF IMPROVEMENTS: The Final Short Plat may not be recorded until all improvements have been completed and approved by the Planning Division or a letter of deferral has been obtained. The 7 H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\shplrec.doc Rev: 3/2017 applicant may request a letter of deferral from the Board of Public Works and post security for any improvements that have not been completed. If a developer wishes to defer certain on-site improvements for more than 90 days after obtaining Final Short Plat approval, then a written application shall be made to the Board of Public Works. Should the Board of Public Works so rule, then full and complete engineering drawings shall be submitted as a condition to the granting of any deferral. Upon approval for such deferment, the applicant shall thereupon furnish security to the City in the amount equal to 150% of the estimated cost of the installation and required improvements. TIME LIMITS: Such security shall list the exact work that shall be performed by the applicant and shall specify that all the deferred improvements shall be completed within t he time specified by the Board of Public Works, and if no time is specified, then no later than one year. DEDICATION OF RIGHT OF WAY: If right-of-way dedication is required for the Short Plat, separate application for City approval is required. The associated deed of right-of-way dedication must be approved prior to recording of the Short Plat. This process may take six weeks, so early application is encouraged.
