(A) Prior to the filing of an application for approval of a preliminary plat, the subdivider is requested to confer with the planning staff and other city departments so as to become acquainted with these regulations.
(B) The pre-application conference with the planning staff does not require a formal application, fee or the filing of a plat and is considered an advisable step in the procedure rather than mandatory. The planning staff does not assume any responsibility for a lack of understanding of these regulations on the part of the subdivider, and any advice or opinion as to the feasibility of the proposed subdivision expressed by the planning staff shall not bind any subsequent actions of the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Trustees relative to the proposal.
(C) The subdivider shall then submit to the Planning and Zoning Commission a preliminary plan and supporting data. This step does not require formal application or filing of a plat with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(D) Within 35 business days, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall inform the subdivider that the plans and data as submitted or as modified do or do not meet the objectives of these regulations, and it shall express its reasons therefor.
