A. In order to make the most of opportunities related to the subdivision and to conserve time, effort and expense, the owner or subdivider shall consult with the administrative officer and other public officials prior to the preparation of the preliminary plat for the subdivision. The comprehensive plan of the city shall be reviewed by the subdivider to determine how his proposed plan will fit into the comprehensive plan. Requirements for major and minor streets, school and recreation sites, community facilities, shopping centers, sanitation, water supply and drainage, and the relationship to other developments, existing and proposed, in the vicinity shall be determined in advance of the preparation of the preliminary plat. A thorough assessment of the situation will result in sound decisions with respect to the form, character, and extent of the proposed subdivision.
B. Previous to the filing of an application for approval of the preliminary plat, the subdivider shall submit to the administrative official and the engineering advisory committee (EAC) plans and data as specified in this section. This step does not require formal application, fee, or filing of plat with the planning commission. A dated cover letter shall be submitted indicating the date of submission. (Ord. 2013-20)
