Before preparing a proposed plat for an area, the owner, developer or his, her or their representatives should have a pre-application meeting with the Plan Commission and/or the City Planner to determine applicable ordinance regulations and standards which must be complied with. After the pre- application meeting(s), the subdivider should then prepare the preliminary plat. As defined in this chapter, the preliminary plat must contain a substantial amount of data and will thus be incomplete and cannot be considered as filed until all required data are submitted. The preliminary plat is received with filing fees by the City Clerk’s office, who, in turn, will forward the same to the Plan Commission for its review. Following its review (as well as comments from other appropriate agencies when required), the Plan Commission forwards its recommendation(s) to the City Council, who then either approve, disapprove or approve with modifications the preliminary plat.
