The Commission shall consider the application and preliminary plat at the first regular meeting following its proper submittal. If the Commission is satisfied that all conditions have been satisfactorily met by the subdivider, it shall tentatively approve the application and set a date for a public hearing on the proposed plat, giving written notification to the subdivider and publish a notice of the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the town, at least ten days prior to the date set for the hearing. The cost of publishing the notice of the hearing shall be paid to the publisher by the subdivider at the time of inserting the notice. After the public hearing the Commission may give its approval of the preliminary plat which shall be governed by the following qualifications.
(A) The approval of a preliminary plat by the Commission is strictly tentative, involving merely the general acceptability of the layout as submitted.
(B) The Commission may introduce such changes or revisions as are deemed necessary to the interests and needs of the community.
(C) Tentative approval shall be effective for a maximum period of six months unless, upon application of the subdivider, the Commission grants an extension. If the final plat has not been recorded within this time, the preliminary plat must again be submitted to the Commission for approval.
(D) Any person feeling himself or herself aggrieved at any action of the Commission upon any proposed plat or replat may apply in writing to the Commission, prior to its next regular meeting, for modification of the action complained of, and such application shall be considered by the Commission at such time and in such manner as it may determine, but within 40 days following the regular meeting.
