Thirty days after the meeting on the final plat, the planning and zoning commission shall approve, disapprove or approve subject to modification of the said plat. Failure of the planning and zoning commission to act on the final plat within 30 days shall be deemed approval of the plat.

After the final plat has been approved by the planning and zoning commission, the original and one copy thereof shall be presented to the city council for its approval and acceptance of the area dedicated to public use.
