(a) The preliminary plat shall be deemed submitted to the Planning Commission at its first regular meeting scheduled not less than fifteen working days following the filing of such plat with the Clerk as provided.
(b) The Planning Commission shall approve such plat at their next regular meeting, or shall disapprove the same. The failure of the Commission to approve or disapprove a plat within the time herein fixed or such further time as the applying party may agree to, shall constitute approval of the plat by the Commission. The certificate of the Secretary of the Commission as to the date of the submission of the plat for approval and the failure to take action thereon within such time, shall be issued on demand and shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement of approval required by this section.
(c) The approval of the preliminary plat does not constitute an acceptance of the subdivision, but merely authorizes the developer to proceed with work on the final plat. One copy of the approved preliminary plat, signed by the Chairman of the Board of Public Affairs, Chairman of the Planning Commission, and the Mayor, shall be retained in the office of the Clerk. One signed copy shall be given to the subdivider.
(d) Receipt of such signed copy is authorization for the subdivider to proceed with the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the minimum improvements required in these Regulations, and with the preparation of the final plat. Prior to the construction of any improvements required or to the submission of any bond, the subdivider shall furnish the Council all plans, information and data necessary for such improvements. These plans shall be examined by Council and will be approved if in accordance with the requirements of these Regulations. Following this approval, construction can be started or the amount of a bond determined, as provided.
