(A) Referral of preliminary plat. The City Clerk shall forthwith refer copies of the preliminary plat to the City Council.
(Prior Code, Art. 4, Ch. 1, § 7)
(B) Action by the City Council. They shall carefully examine said preliminary plat as to its compliance with the laws and regulations of the city, the existing street system and good engineering practices, consider said report, negotiate with the subdivider on changes deemed advisable and the kind and extent of improvements to be made by him or her and pass on the preliminary plat as originally submitted or modified. If the City Council does not act within 30 days, the preliminary plat shall be deemed to be approved; provided, however, that, the subdivider may agree to an additional 60 days. It shall then set forth its recommendations in writing, whether of approval, modification or disapproval.
(1) In the event that substantial changes or modifications are made by the City Council or disapproval of the plat, it shall give its reasons therefor and it may request and cause the revised preliminary plat to be resubmitted in the same manner as the original plat.
(2) If approved the City Council shall express its approval as “conditional approval” and state the conditions of such approval, if any.
(3) The action of the City Council shall be noted on copies of the preliminary plat, referenced and attached to any conditions determined. One copy shall be returned to the subdivider and the other copies retained by the Council.
(4) The “conditional approval” by the City Council shall not constitute final acceptance of the addition or subdivision by the city, but an authorization to proceed with preparation of the final plat.
