approved in the preliminary plat or may be for only a portion or "phase" thereof.
The applicant shall file a final plat application with the Zoning Administrator including 3 copies of the
final plat and PDF digital format on a flash drive approved by the Zoning Administrator, along with
the additional information required herein.

and/or appear on the final plat are the sole and lawful owners or agents of the property, that the
plat is made with their desires, and that they dedicate the areas shown on the plat or as set forth
in the document to the perpetual use by the public for the specific purpose stated herein. The

vii. Provide for adequate control of storm water runoff to prevent soil erosion, such as silt fences.
This includes applying for a Notice of Intent (NOI) for storm water discharges associated with
construction activity under the National Discharge Elimination System. A copy of the NOI
along with the Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan must be filed with the Zoning
Administrator.
viii. Provide for adequate disposal of construction refuse. No construction refuse will be allowed to
be stored, maintained or kept in the open on any lot, tract or parcel.
ix. Three copies of a properly executed written agreement by the developer to undertake and
complete, to the satisfaction of the City, all public improvements required as a condition for
approval of the plat. The agreement shall also set out the time limit for the completion of the
specified work, the amount of surety bond to be posted as security for satisfactory completion
of the work, and the right of the City, in the event the required work is not completed in a
proper or timely manner, to perform or complete the work and recover the actual cost thereof
from the developer or the developer's sureties. (Ord. 2002-31)
The developer's agreement for public improvements will set out the public improvements
required and also set out or incorporate by appropriate references, the plans and specifications
for said improvements. The developer's agreement and bond for required public improvements
shall be reviewed and approved as to the form and content by the City Engineer and the City
Attorney.
x. Assurance of construction of public improvements to be dedicated to the City shall be made in
the form of performance and maintenance bonds or by the creation of a benefit district.
Prior to the issuance of the building permit for the first lot in the subdivision, the developer
shall submit a performance and maintenance bond, in an amount to be determined by the
Public Works Director, to ensure that public improvements, streetlights, sidewalks and trails,
street trees, neighborhood amenities, and landscaping identified within the master landscape
fence / screening plan will be installed, approved, and maintained after completion of the
development. The developer may submit separate bonds from contractors for applicable public
improvements, including streets, storm sewers and drainage systems, sanitary sewers, water
distribution systems and landscaping. Said bond(s) shall be to the favor of the City and shall be
furnished at the time construction plans are submitted for approval. The amount of the bond(s)
shall be for the full cost of the improvements and shall remain in effect for two (2) years from
the date of completion and acceptance by the Governing Body of the City. Separate bonds
may be presented for separate improvements as defined by the Public Works Director. Said
bonds shall be properly executed prior to any grading or construction and shall be released
upon written approval of the Public Works Director. No building permit shall be issued for a
lot or tract in a subdivision which abuts a public improvement for which a bond has not been
furnished. No occupancy permit shall be issued for any such building in a subdivision until a
project completion certificate is issued by the Public Works Director.
As an alternative to providing performance and maintenance bonds to assure the construction
of public improvements, the developer may present a petition to the Governing Body for
creation of a benefit district as a means of guaranteeing the installation of public improvements.
This alternative may be utilized only if the following conditions are met:
The petition is presented on forms secured from the City Benefit District Coordinator or on

forms otherwise acceptable to the Public Works Director.
The petition must be valid under the applicable Kansas Statutes.
The petition must be approved by the Governing Body.
The initiating resolution for such improvement must be adopted by the Governing Body
concurrent with the petition approval or as soon thereafter, as may be provided by law. The
cost of the publication of said resolution shall be borne by the subdivider.
The City Clerk shall record the resolution with the Register of Deeds.
The developer shall provide a performance and maintenance bond, a letter of credit, or other
surety acceptable to the City Attorney to ensure that all erosion control measures are installed
and maintained and that all of the development’s streets and sidewalks remain free of debris
(e.g. dirt, mud, gravel, etc.) during all phases of construction. If the Public Works Director
determines an area of the development not to be adequately maintained or free of said debris,
the developer shall be notified. From the time of notification, the developer shall have six
hours to complete the removal of all said debris. If, after six hours, the developer has not acted,
or if such action has failed to adequately remove all debris, the Public Works Director may
direct the City to remove the debris and assess all cleanup charges against the developer and
the performance and maintenance bond, letter of credit, or other surety.
(Ord. 2005-29; 2006-48)
xi. The plat shall show the signatures of owners, city officials, notary, certifications by a licensed

Assessments on dedicated land become and remain a lien on the remainder of the land fronting
on or abutting such dedicated roads and streets.
(See revised statutes 19-1949; and 19-27, 101, 1953).

all review comments shall be directed to such person.
d. Spring Hill Planning Commission Review and Action. The Planning Commission shall
determine if the final plat conforms to the provisions of the subdivision regulations, and the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and associated Planning Principles and Design
Guidelines. If such determination is not made within 60 days after the first meeting of such
commission following the date of the submission of the plat to the Zoning Administrator thereof,
such plat shall be deemed to have been approved and a certificate shall be issued by the Zoning
Administrator upon demand. If the Planning Commission finds the final plat does not conform
to the requirements of the subdivision regulations, and the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan and associated Planning Principles and Design Guidelines, the Planning
Commission shall notify the owner or owners of such fact. If the final plat conforms to the
requirements of such regulations, there shall be endorsed thereon the fact that the plat has been
submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission. (Ord. 2006-48)
e. Governing Body Review and Action. The Governing Body shall accept or refuse the dedications of
land for public purposes within 30 days after the first meeting of the Governing Body following the
date of the submission of the plat to the clerk thereof. The Governing Body may defer action for an
additional 30 days for the purpose of allowing for modifications to comply with the requirements
established by the Governing Body. No additional filing fees shall be assessed during that period.
If the Governing Body defers or refuses such dedication, it shall advise the Planning Commission of
the reasons therefore.
The Zoning Administrator may approve a minor engineering change to a plat after it has been
approved. Both the Planning Commission and the Governing Body shall approve all other changes
or amendments to a plat.
f. Recording of Final Plat. It shall be the Citys responsibility to file the final plat with the Records
and Tax Administration of Johnson County or the Register of Deeds Miami County, Kansas, after
approval of the final plat by the Governing Body, as required by State law. The final plat will not
be considered official until a file stamp copy is submitted to the City Clerk. In addition, the
applicant will need to record with the county an affidavit concurrently with the recording of the
final plat to identify the organization that will be the legal entity having permanent responsibility
and authority for the installation, maintenance and repair of the landscape or screen tracts,
private greenways, parks or common open space areas as indicated on the final plat, as well as
for the payment of the expenses including taxes and special assessments.
(2007-24 09/07; Ord 2016-04)
