(A) Any person, corporation, firm or agent thereof, intending to subdivide land within the plat jurisdiction of the village shall proceed according to the steps outlined in this chapter.
(B) This code requires that before the village accepts for review any preliminary subdivision plat, final plat, plan development zoning plat or any other survey made for the purpose of dividing land, that the subdivider or his or her agents shall first meet with the Village Plan Commission for pre-application conferences and site investigations.

(1) To determine the proper classification or procedure which the subdivider should follow in the subdivision of the tract of land in question;
(2) To ensure the subdivider fully understands all the provisions of the Village Subdivision Code and other village codes related to the development of land;
(3) To ensure the subdivider is thoroughly familiar with the standards, materials and specifications of the village governing the construction of streets, and other public facilities in the area he or she intends to subdivide;
(4) To find out whether any other village action such as zoning, annexation or street vacation needs to be taken prior to the development of the land;
(5) To ensure the subdivider will conduct adequate background studies to allow the subdivider to properly design his or her subdivision and to allow the village proper information to review the subdivision plan; and
(6) To ensure the subdivision will be designated consistent with the village official comprehensive plans or official village map and to ensure the subdivider is aware of all the provisions of the plan which would effect the design of his or her subdivision.
