4-9-3 Administration

And Enforcement

Administration
1. These regulations shall be administered by the City of Lander City Hall Administration.
2. All plats submitted to the City Council of the City of Lander shall first have been examined by the City Engineer/Public Works Director and the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures established by this ordinance. As a part of their examination, the Staff and the Commission may consult with other public or private agencies to determine whether or not the plat as proposed will contribute to the orderly growth and development of the City. The City Hall Administration shall receive all materials required to be submitted by these regulations.
  
  Preliminary and final subdivision plats, supporting materials and any Department's recommendations thereon shall be reviewed and evaluated by the Planning Commission. After concluding its examination, the Planning Commission shall, in the case of Preliminary Plats, notify the developer of its decision in writing, and in the case of Final Plats communicate its findings and recommendations to the City Council in writing. The actions of the City Administration, the Commission and the Council shall be governed by the procedures and schedules hereinafter set forth.
3. The City shall not extend utilities and services and shall not approve any proposed subdivision of land which by itself or as a part of a larger tract, is contiguous to or completely surrounded by the boundaries of the City unless the Preliminary Plat submitted to the Planning Commission is accompanied by a properly acknowledged petition for annexation to the City and a separate application for proper zoning.
4. The City Administration shall review both the annexation petition and the Preliminary Plat for accuracy and completeness and shall process the plats as if the land were already a part of the City. The required plats and the annexation petition may be considered by the City simultaneously; however, final action by the City Council on the annexation petition and zoning shall precede or be taken concurrently with final action on the Final Plat.
Appeals
1. Any developer or landowner aggrieved by the action of the Planning Commission or the administrative staff of the City of Lander in their administration of these regulations, may request a hearing before the City Council. The request shall be in writing, shall be submitted to the City Administration within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such a request, the City Council shall hold a hearing to determine the proper disposition of the matter. At the hearing, the Council shall consider not only the developer's/landowner’s appeal, but also the written or verbal comments of the Commission, agency or person appealed from. The Council shall either reaffirm or modify the decision of the Commission, agency or person and note the decision in the record of its hearing. The developer or landowner may then proceed with the subdivision of the land based upon this decision of the Council. This decision shall be binding upon all agencies and administrative personnel of the City of Lander.
Variances
1. WY Statute 15-1-608
Vacations
1. Any plat may be vacated by the owners or proprietors thereof at any time before sale of any lots, or before the City has made substantial improvements in the subdivision, by submitting a copy of the plat to the Planning Commission along with a written request for the vacation. In cases where lots have been sold, the written request shall be by all of the owners of lots within the plat. The Planning Commission shall make a recommendation on the vacation to the City Council and the Council shall approve or disapprove the vacation. The recording of an instrument vacating the plat shall operate to destroy the force and effect of the recording of the original plat and to divest all public rights in the streets, alleys, common and public grounds laid out or described in such a plat.
2. Streets and alleys platted and laid out under the provisions of these regulations or laid out under any prior law of the State of Wyoming regulating private plats may be altered or vacated in the manner provided by law for the alteration or discontinuance of highways.
3. Any part of a plat may be vacated under the provisions, and subject to the conditions of Vacations of these regulations, provided such vacating does not abridge or destroy any of the rights and privileges of other proprietors in said plat and provided, further, that nothing contained in this section shall authorize the closing or obstruction of any public highways laid out according to law. The request for vacation shall be made by all of the owners of lots within that portion of the overall plat sought to be vacated.
4. When any part of a plat shall be vacated as aforesaid, streets, alleys and other public grounds shall be assigned to all lots or parcels adjacent to the public area being vacated in equal proportions.
5. The County Clerk shall write in plain, legible letters across that part of said plat so vacated, the word "vacated" and also make a reference on the same to the volume and page in which the said instrument of vacation is recorded.
6. Land covered by a vacated plat may be replatted as described by these regulations. Any later replatting of an area already platted and not vacated shall be construed to be a request for the vacation of the original plat or portion thereof. Any such plat, once approved and recorded, shall act to vacate the original plat which it replaces.
Administrative Liability
1. The City shall hold harmless the other city agencies and officials and their official agents and representatives, when acting in good faith and without malice, from all personal liability for any damage that may accrue to any person or property as a result of any act required by these regulations, or for the omission of any act on the part of the Commission, agency or official or their authorized agents in the discharge of their duties hereunder. Any suit brought against the City or the City Administration because of any such act or omission in the carrying out of the provisions of these regulations shall be defended by the City's legal department through final determination of such proceedings.
