(18) Special Studies Required. In the event that the Planning Commission directs that additional information is necessary in order to make a decision, the applicant may be instructed to conduct additional studies, or seek expert advice.

(b) Subject to other requirements of this Chapter that guarantee completion of public improvements, a Final Plat may be submitted to, and approved by, the Planning Commission before the start of any grading or construction work upon the proposed streets and improvements, before any plat of such subdivision is recorded, and prior to the sale of or construction upon any new lot within the proposed subdivision.
