  The regional planning commission shall approve or disapprove a plat within sixty (60) days after the initial consideration of the plat by the regional planning commission meeting in a regularly scheduled session, unless at the end of the sixty-day period there is a holiday or an unexpected interceding event that would close municipal or county government offices and thus affect the normal computation of the sixty-day period, in which case the plat shall be approved or disapproved after the interrupted sixty-day period at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the regional planning commission; otherwise, the plat shall be deemed approved and a certificate to that effect shall be issued by the commission on demand. The applicant for the commission's approval may waive the time requirement set in this subsection (a) and consent to an extension or extensions of the applicable time period. When a plat has been filed with the appropriate officials of the planning commission, the plat shall be placed on the agenda of the planning commission within thirty (30) days of the filing or the next regularly scheduled planning commission meeting after the thirty-day period. The applicant may waive the time frame requirement for the appearance of the plat on the agenda. The ground of disapproval of any plat shall be stated upon the records of the commission. Any plat submitted to the commission shall contain the name and address of a person to whom notice of hearing may be sent; and no plat shall be acted upon by the commission without affording a hearing thereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be sent by mail to the address not less than five (5) days before the date fixed for such hearing.   In incorporated municipalities located within any county having a population of not less than three hundred twenty-five thousand (325,000) nor more than four hundred thousand (400,000), according to the 1990 federal census or any subsequent federal census, if the regional planning commission approves or disapproves a plat after a hearing thereon, then the applicant submitting the plat or any person who was a party for or against the plat request at the planning commission hearing shall have the right within thirty (30) days after such approval or disapproval to have the action of the regional planning commission reviewed by the municipal legislative body having jurisdiction over the plat in question, which shall by majority vote approve or disapprove the plat. If the plat is approved, then the secretary of the regional planning commission shall endorse the plat for recording as prescribed in § 13-3-402. No such plat shall be recorded until after the municipal legislative body has acted on a request for a review of the action of the planning commission if there is a request within thirty (30) days.

The county, through the county attorney or other official designated by the legislative body, may pursue an injunction or other appropriate remedy for a violation of this subsection (a).     The owner or agent of the owner of any land may sell, transfer, or agree to sell any lot or lots shown on a plat only after that plat has been given final plat approval by the regional planning commission, and after the approved final plat is recorded in the office of the appropriate county register. The regional planning commission may grant final plat approval where the infrastructure improvements such as roads, water, sewer, utilities, other infrastructures, and facilities are not completed and accepted by the appropriate entities. For the regional planning commission to grant final approval, the owner or agent of the owner of the land to be granted final approval shall post a bond, letter of credit, or other method of assurance in form, in amount, and with conditions and surety satisfactory to the regional planning commission. The bond, letter of credit, or other method of assurance shall provide for and secure to the public and the county the actual construction and installation of the infrastructure improvements within a period specified by the regional planning commission.   The remedies and penalties provided by this chapter are to be applied exclusively to the owner or agent of the owner. Title to any tract conveyed without compliance with this chapter is not affected by this chapter unless the sale or transfer has been enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction prior to the conveyance being recorded in the office of the appropriate county register. While the title to any such tract is not affected by this chapter, the tract remains otherwise subject to all provisions of this chapter.
