regulations. The Commission or County has the power to enforce
such bond by all appropriate legal and equitable remedies. The
regulations or practice of the Commission may provide for a pre-
application procedure and also for submission of a preliminary
[plat] plan prior to submission of a final plat of subdivision and
for tentative or conditional approval or disapproval of such pre-
liminary [plats] plans. [Within sixty days after submission thereof;
otherwise,] In IN Montgomery County the regulations may also pro-
vide time limits within which such action must be taken with regard to
preapplication submissions and preliminary plate PLANS and they
may further provide that if the Commission fails to approve or dis-
approve such preapplication submissions or preliminary plats PLANS
within the time limits provided, the preapplication submission or the
preliminary plat PLAN shall be deemed to have been approved and
that a certificate to that effect shall be issued by the Commission upon
demand. Such regulations may provide that [T] the applicant for
the Commission's approval may waive this requirement and consent
to the extension of such period. The ground of disapproval of any
such [plat] plan shall be stated upon the records of the Commis-
sion, and a copy of such record shall be mailed postage prepaid
to the last address of record of the applicant.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That Section 1(72) of Chapter
780 of the Laws of Maryland, 1959, as amended, be, and is hereby,
repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, to read as follows:
72.
Approval or disapproval of subdivision plats [.] and Prince
George's County preliminary Subdivision Plans.
The commission shall approve or disapprove a subdivision plat
within thirty (30) days after the submission thereof; otherwise,
the plat shall be deemed to have been approved, and a certificate
to that effect shall be issued by the commission upon demand. In
Prince George's County, each office to which a preliminary sub-
division plan is referred will return one copy of the plan to the
Board within thirty (30) days with its comments noted thereon;
if such reply is not made within thirty (30) days by any office to
whom referred, the plan shall be deemed to be approved by it. In
Prince George's County, the commission shall approve or disapprove
a preliminary subdivision plan within seventy (70) days after the
submission thereof; otherwise, the preliminary subdivision plan shall
be deemed to have been approved, and a certificate to that effect
shall be issued by the commission upon demand. The applicant for
the commission's approval may waive [this] either or both of these
requirements and consent to the extension of such periods [.]; pro-
vided, however, that in Prince George's County no such waiver may
be for a period greater than the original period allowed for approval
of such plat or preliminary plan. The ground of disapproval of any
plat shall be stated upon the records of the commission. Any plat
submitted to the commission shall contain the name and address
of a person to whom notice of hearing may be sent; and no plat
shall be acted upon by the commission without affording a hearing
thereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be sent by mail
to said address not less than five (5) days before the date fixed
therefor. In his application, however, the applicant may waive such
hearing and notice, and the approval of any plat exactly as submitted
