Failure to post a proposed development notification sign or to give notice or defects in the notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings. At least three weeks prior to the hearing the applicant shall submit to the city:

A survey (prepared and signed by a registered land surveyor);

(2)

A list of property owners within 500 feet of the boundaries of the parcel to be subdivided;

(c)

Upon approval of an administrative or metes and bounds subdivision, the city shall notify the applicant of the approval and within 30 days thereafter, the applicant or the city attorney shall file the documents with the county recorder and furnish the city evidence of such recording. Failure to comply shall be cause for revoking the city's approval.
