Sec. 26-51. Generally.
   (a)   The following sections are an outline of the procedure for obtaining approval of the subdivision of land within the territorial jurisdiction of this chapter. The procedure for review and approval of a subdivision plat consists of two separate steps. However, informal consultation with the village manager for advice and assistance and preparation of a sketch plan is recommended prior to the submission of the preliminary plat. The first step is the preparation and submission to the planning board, and then to the village council a preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision. The second step is the preparation and submission to the village manager of a final plat together with required certificates and assurances. The final plat is the instrument recorded in the office of the register of deeds when duly approved pursuant to the terms of this chapter.
   (b)   Any subdivider wishing to subdivide any tract shall submit a preliminary plat of such proposed subdivision for approval. The following procedures shall dictate the process of approval of a subdivision in the jurisdiction of the village.
