3.4.2 PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAT When a Preliminary Plat is submitted for property covered all or in part by a previously approved and still valid Preliminary Plat, the later Preliminary Plat shall include all property covered by the previously approved Preliminary Plat which has not been Final Platted. The approval of such later Preliminary Plat shall supersede and render void the previous Preliminary Plat approval; however, the Court may allow the later Preliminary Plat to cover less than all of the property covered by the previously approved Preliminary Plat if the Court finds that the later Preliminary Plat does not substantially impair the orderly planning of roads, utilities, drainage and other public facilities. 3.4.3 EXPIRATION OF APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLAT Commissioners Court approval of a Preliminary Plat shall expire one (1) year after the date of approval unless a Final Plat is submitted for all or part of the area covered by the Preliminary Plat. The Commissioners Court may grant six -month extensions for a total of up to two (2) additional years for submittal of a Final Plat, provided the subdivider requests such extension in writing showing good cause and does so at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date. Granting of an extension may be predicated upon the subdivider agreeing to comply with conditions of new or updated regulations, or other items as the Court may deem appropriate, as a condition of the extension. 3.5 PROCEDURES FOR PHASED SUBDIVISIONS A) If less than the entire Original Tract is being subdivided and platted, the County will require the Owner to enter into a Phasing Agreement with the County to provide for the orderly administration of the subdivision process and the subsequent platting of the balance of the tract. The Phasing Agreement must be approved by the Commissioners Court concurrently with approval of the first Preliminary Plat. B) When a subdivision is platted and developed in phases, each individual phase must stand alone and be capable of functioning independently with respect to utilities, drainage, flood detention and access. C) When a subdivision is to be platted as a phased and related development, a Master Development Plan shall be submitted with the Preliminary Plat of the first portion to be subdivided. The Master Development Plan is considered a non - binding planning tool and a source of planning information for the County. It shall include the following information: 1) The boundaries of the entire development with the locations of adjacent platted subdivisions and adjoining unplatted property including the names of the record owners of each tract. 2) The proposed phasing plan including the boundaries of each individual phase and the proposed sequential order for platting. 3) The location, width and names of all existing or platted streets or public rights -of -way and all existing easements within and adjacent to the development. 4) The layout and width of proposed arterials, thoroughfares and collector streets, and the general configuration of proposed streets and alleys. 5) The general arrangement and designations of land uses with specification of any sites designated for special use (e.g., for parks, open space, detention, or other public facilities).
