Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 741-207
in effectSec. 741-207. - Secondary approval.
A. After the time period for appeal of a Committee decision on a primary approval has lapsed, the secondary approval may be granted. The Administrator, as authorized by IC 36-7-4-710, has the authority to grant secondary approval on behalf of the Commission and Committee. The Administrator shall not grant secondary approval unless:
1. All conditions of primary plat approval are met;
2. All zoning requirements are met;
3. The secondary plat is in substantial compliance with the approved primary plat; and
4. The plat has been stamped by the county assessor.
B. A secondary plat may be filed for all or a part of the land included in an approved primary plat, provided that all infrastructure required for full services to lots included in the secondary plat have been provided, and provided that all lots and open spaces included in the secondary plat have access onto a public street or an approved private street. If the subdivision contains common open space, that open space may not be included in the last secondary plat of remaining lands in an approved primary plat, but must be included in one or more earlier secondary plats.
C. Secondary approval may be granted to a plat for a subdivision in which the improvements and installations have not been completed if the applicant provides satisfactory assurance that the installations and improvements will be installed or extended in compliance with these regulations.
D. At the time of secondary plat approval, the full right-of-way for all streets along the boundary of the subdivision under the applicant's ownership control shall be dedicated to the City of Indianapolis or the jurisdiction thereof having legal responsibility for the improvement, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
E. A plat of a subdivision may not be filed with the Auditor, and the Recorder may not record it, unless it has been granted secondary approval and has been signed and certified with the Commission seal by the Administrator. The filing and recording of the plat is without legal effect unless secondary approval has been granted by the Administrator.
