Subdivision ordinance; plan review by designated agent, definition of "designated agent."

Added a new provision allowing local planning commissions to serve as the designated agent for localities with a population of 5,000 or less.

Clarified that when reviewing a resubmitted plan, the designated agent must consider all deficiencies that caused the initial disapproval, not just the specific items listed in the previous paragraph.

Added a safeguard stating that any uncorrected deficiency violating state or federal law, safety requirements, or DOT standards cannot be deemed approved, even if the review period expired.

The definition of 'designated agent' was updated to include agents 'employed or authorized' by a locality and explicitly states that this role does not include the local planning commission.

The definition of 'designated administrative agency' was corrected to remove the redundant word 'agent' from the phrase 'designated administrative agency agent'.

Inconsistent timeframes for forwarding plats to state agencies were standardized to '10 business days' in multiple sections, removing conflicting 'five days' or 'three days' language.

Several grammatical errors and redundant phrases were removed throughout the text, such as 'agencies authority' and 'agent designated agent thereof'.

A clause requiring developers to provide indemnity and surety for construction costs was updated to clarify that the governing body may accept a negotiated sum of money as an alternative to a bond or letter of credit.
