The Council may only approve the requested waivers or variations upon recommendation by the Commission.
The final plat shall conform substantially to the sketch plan as approved and, if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that portion of the approved sketch plan which the subdivider proposes to record and develop at that time; provided, however, such portion shall conform to all requirements of the regulations set forth in this chapter. Subsequent final plats covering the remaining portions of the sketch plan shall be submitted within 24 months. Council may approve extensions upon recommendation of the Commission.
If the developer wishes preliminary approval of the final plat prior to the preparation of such plat, the developer may submit a preliminary plat to the Commission for approval. Such preliminary plat need only contain the information required under Section 200.17 of this chapter. A final plat which conforms substantially to the preliminary plat shall be approved by the Commission within 30 days after application for approval of such final plat, if such plat is submitted within 24 months from the date of approval of the preliminary plat. The final plat shall be approved by the Council within 20 days of the date of its approval by the Commission.
The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved, and, if desired by the subdivider, may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he proposes to record and develop at the time; provided, however, that such portion conforms to all requirements of the regulations set forth in this chapter. Subsequent final plats covering the remaining portions of the preliminary plat shall be submitted within 24 months of the date of approval of the preliminary plat.
Fourteen copies of the preliminary plat and two copies of the supplementary material may be filed with the Commission, with written application for approval, at least fifteen days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered.

The Commission shall approve or reject such plat within 45 days after the date of submission thereof to the Commission. If the Commission does not act within 45 days, the preliminary plat shall be deemed to be approved; provided, however, the subdivider may agree to an extension of the time for a period not to exceed 60 days.
After approval of the preliminary plat by the Commission, six copies shall be submitted to the Council for approval at least ten days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered. If the Commission does not approve the preliminary plat, the Council may approve the preliminary plat only by a four-fifths vote of the entire membership of the Council.
The preliminary plat shall include the following:
1. The official description of the property to be platted.
2. Contour intervals of not more than five feet and including the 100-year flood line elevations and base flood elevation data.

The preliminary plat shall be drawn at a scale not to exceed one inch equals 100 feet. The Commission may request additional data if they so desire.
The developer may submit a final plat for approval without having first submitted a preliminary plat or sketch plan. In this event, the final plat shall first be submitted to the Engineering Department in triplicate. Such plat shall then be checked by the Engineering Department to insure its compliance with State law and local regulations. No such plat shall be approved by the Commission unless the same shall have been certified by the City Engineer as complying with all State laws and local regulations.
In the event that a developer has obtained prior approval of a preliminary plat or sketch plan within two years of the date of filing the final plat, the developer shall file three copies of the final plat and supplementary materials with the City Engineering Department. The City Engineering Department shall check the plat and supplementary materials to insure compliance with the preliminary plat or sketch plan. If such final plat substantially complies with the preliminary plat or sketch plan, the City Engineer shall immediately approve the same.
