PROCEDURE FOR PLAT APPROVAL CITY OF SLIDELL, LOUISIANA

Step	Action	Actor	Procedure
1	Acquire engineering information	Subdivider	Subdivider shall prepare a sketch and location map of his proposed subdivision and review these with the city engineer. This shall be done in order to obtain preliminary information regarding the availability and adequacy of sewer and water facilities for his proposal. The city engineer is located at 2056 Second Street, Slidell, La., or may be contacted by calling [phone].
2	Preapplication conference	Subdivider	Subdivider shall bring the sketch and location map of his proposed subdivision to a meeting of the planning commission. This shall be done in order to receive guidance as to what will probably be required of him before he has incurred great expense in making detailed plans. The planning commission normally meets on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in Slidell City Hall. The subdivider shall contact the secretary of the planning commission (in city hall) prior to the meeting in order to be included on the agenda.
3	Prepare preliminary plat	Subdivider	Subdivider must prepare a "preliminary plat" as specified in section 5.302 of the subdivision regulations of Slidell. A copy of these regulations may be obtained from the city department of permits (for a small charge). The subdivider shall be sure to include all necessary information on the plat as specified in the subdivision regulations.
4	Present preliminary plat	Subdivider	Subdivider must submit the preliminary plat of his proposal before the planning commission for their review. The plat must be submitted to the secretary of the planning commission at least seven calendar days prior to the meeting at which it is to be first considered (six copies drawn at a scale of one inch equals 100 feet). The subdivider shall not necessarily expect the commission to take action at this first meeting since it will take time for the appropriate agencies to review the details of the proposal. The planning commission may require a public hearing to be held on the proposed subdivision.
5	Review of preliminary plat	Planning commission	The planning commission and other appropriate agencies and persons will review the preliminary plat to ensure that all provisions of city ordinances are met and that plans are consistent with good planning practice.
6	Tentative approval by planning commission	Planning commission	After reviewing the proposed subdivision, the planning commission may grant tentative approval of the plat. If approved subject to conditions, the nature of the required conditions will be indicated to the subdivider. If the plat is disapproved, reasons for such disapproval shall be given. "Tentative approval" does not constitute "approval" of the preliminary plat.
7	Prepare preliminary construction drawings	Subdivider	After receiving tentative approval from the planning commission, the subdivider must then prepare preliminary drawings of all improvements to be made in the subdivision (in accordance with the regulations and standards of the City of Slidell).
8	Submit preliminary construction drawings	Subdivider	The subdivider must submit the preliminary drawings for his proposed subdivision to the city engineer for review (see step 1 for location of city engineer).
9	Tentative approval by city engineer	City engineer	After reviewing the preliminary construction drawings, the city engineer may grant tentative approval to the plat. This tentative approval must be received by the subdivider in written form.
10	Approval of preliminary plat	Planning commission	After tentative approval by both the planning commission and city engineer, the chairman (or secretary) of the planning commission may then sign the preliminary plat granting approval. The approval of the preliminary plat will not constitute acceptance of the final plat. (Please note the time limit for final plat approval in section 5.308 of the subdivision regulations).
11	Prepare detailed construction drawings	Subdivider	After approval of preliminary plat, the subdivider must then prepare detailed construction drawings of all improvements to be made in the subdivision (in accordance with the regulations of the City of Slidell). These drawings must be submitted to the city engineer for review and approval.
12	Approval of detailed construction drawings	City engineer	After reviewing the detailed construction drawings, the city engineer may grant approval so that the subdivider can proceed with the installation of offsite improvements (or post a performance bond). This approval must be signed by the city engineer and a copy filed with the secretary of the planning commission. No improvements may be installed by the subdivider until such approval is granted.
13	Installation of improvements	Subdivider	After approval of the detailed construction drawings, the subdivider may proceed with installation of all improvements (or as per section 4.3 of the subdivision regulations).
14	Submit final plat	Subdivider	After all improvements have been installed (or a performance bond posted), the subdivider may submit a final plat to the planning commission for review and approval (see section 5.5 of subdivision regulations for final plat requirements). The final plat must be submitted to the secretary of the planning commission (at city hall) at least seven calendar days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered.
15	Approval of final plat	Planning commission	After review of the final plat to ensure that it conforms substantially with the approved preliminary plat, the planning commission shall approve or disapprove the final plat within 60 days after its submission. Failure by the planning commission to act on this final plat within these 60 days shall be deemed approval of it. If the plat is disapproved, the grounds for disapproval shall be stated upon the records of the planning commission in writing.
16	Assignment of municipal numbers	Building official	After approval of the final plat, the building official shall assign municipal numbers to each lot (which shall be shown on the plat).
17	Distribution of final plat	Subdivider	After approval of final plat and assignment of municipal numbers, the subdivider shall distribute the final plat as per section 5.507 of the subdivision regulations.
18	Inspection of improvements	City engineer	The city engineer will inspect all improvements to ensure that they have been completed according to city standards. The city engineer will approve or disapprove the installed improvements in writing to the city council.
19	Acceptance of improvements	City council	After approval by the city engineer, the city council will accept for maintenance all improvements provided a one-year maintenance bond in an amount not less than ten percent of the total construction cost of said improvements has been posted. The improvements will be accepted by a resolution prepared by the city attorney.
