A. Correcting Filed Final Plats. Correction of drafting or surveying errors that in the city council’s opinion will not materially alter the plat, its land division, or the improvements to less than the standards contained in this chapter, may be made by the submission of a corrected final plat for the city council approval. The plat shall be entitled "Corrected Plat of the (name of subdivision) Subdivision" and the reason for the correction shall be stated on the face of the plat.

B. Amending Filed Final Plats.

1. Changes that materially alter the final plat or any portion thereof or its land divisions or improvements shall be made by the filing of an amended plat showing all alterations. Within a platted subdivision, any division of lots which result in an increase in the number of lots, or which redesigns or rearranges six or more lots, must be reviewed and approved by the city council and an amended plat must be filed with the county clerk and recorder.

2. The relocation of common boundaries and the aggregation of lots within platted subdivision where five or fewer of the original lots are affected are exempt from approval procedures as a subdivision. In such case, an amended plat shall be prepared following the requirements of Appendix C of this title, except that in place of the city council’s approval, the landowner certifies that the approval of the city council is not required pursuant to Section 76-3-207(1), MCA, as amended.

3. The amended plat shall be subject to procedural requirements for major and minor subdivisions

(Sections 17.12.040 through 17.12.060 of this chapter) and shall be subject to all standards contained in this title.

4. The final amended plat submitted for approval shall comply with the final plat requirements of Section 17.12.070 of this chapter and Appendix C of this title with the exception that the title shall include the word "Amended" ("Amended Plat of the [name] Subdivision" or "[Name] Subdivision, Amended").
