[Amended 7-12-2016 by Ord. No. 16-15]
Whenever a subdivision is proposed to be made,
and before any sale or contract for sale or any construction work,
including grading, is started, the owner or proprietor of the proposed
subdivision or his duly authorized representative shall cause a preliminary
plat to be prepared, together with improvement plans and other supplementary
materials, as this Chapter requires. The preliminary plat shall comply
fully with the health, zoning and other applicable laws and ordinances
in effect at the time the plat is submitted for conditional approval.
[Amended 7-12-2016 by Ord. No. 16-15]
Three copies, or more if necessary, of the preliminary plat, together with improvement plans for public uses and other supplementary material, shall be submitted to the Director of Planning and Community Development, for the Commission's consideration, with a written application for conditional approval. Such application shall be submitted so as to permit the Commission at least 30 days from the date of submission for review thereof and investigations as set forth in § 250-20.
[Amended 7-12-2016 by Ord. No. 16-15]
Following review of the preliminary plat and other required
material and following consultation with the subdivider on the changes
deemed advisable and the kind and extent of improvements to be made
by him, the Commission shall, within 60 days from the date of official
submission, act on the plat as submitted or modified; however, if
the plat must be submitted to any state agency, the Commission shall,
within 35 days from receipt of approvals from all state agencies,
act on the plat as submitted or modified. If approved, the Commission
shall express its approval as conditional approval and state the conditions
of such approval, if any; or if disapproved, the Commission shall
express its disapproval and its reasons therefor.
[Amended 7-12-2016 by Ord. No. 16-15]
The Commission action shall be noted on two
copies of the preliminary plat referenced and attached to any conditions
determined. One copy shall be returned to the subdivider and the other
retained by the Commission.
[Amended 7-12-2016 by Ord. No. 16-15]
Approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval
of the final plat. It shall be deemed as an expression of approval
of the layout submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the
preparation of the final plat. The final plat shall be submitted for
the Director's approval and for recording when compliance with
the requirements of these regulations have been met.
