(a) The subdivider shall prepare a preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision which shall conform with the requirements set forth in Section 1244.07, and shall file with the Chairperson of the Planning Commission an application in writing for the approval of the preliminary plat, accompanied by six blueprints, at least two weeks prior to the meeting of the Planning Commission at which action is desired.
(b) The preliminary plat shall be checked by the Commission as to its conformity with any Major Street Plan in effect at the time of submission of the plat, and with the principles, standards and requirements hereinafter set forth, and the Secretary shall transmit a copy of the preliminary plat to the Village Engineer for recommendations concerning matters within his or her jurisdiction.
(c) Upon the receipt of a preliminary plat of a proposed subdivision which has been presented to the Commission for approval, the Commission shall send notice of the filing thereof to adjoining property owners and others considered by the Commission to be affected by the proposed subdivision. A reasonable time as set forth in the notice shall be allowed for a reply from such property owners before action is taken on the preliminary plat by the Commission.
(d) The Commission shall approve or disapprove the preliminary plat, or approve it with modifications, within thirty days of the filing thereof, noting thereon any changes that are required. One copy shall be returned to the subdivider with the date of the approval or disapproval endorsed thereon. A similar copy shall also be transmitted to the Village Engineer.
