§ 152.077  QUALIFICATIONS GOVERNING APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT.
   (A)   The approval of a preliminary plat by the City Council shall only constitute acceptance of the design as a basis for the preparation of the final plat by the owners or subdividers. Subsequent approval by appropriate officials having jurisdiction will be required of the proposals pertaining to water supplies, storm drainage, sewage disposal, sidewalks, grading, gradients and roadway widths and the surfacing of streets prior to the approval of the final plat. The subdivider shall also present evidence that the plat has been reviewed by and meets the requirements of those responsible for the provision of gas, electric and telephone service.
   (B)   No plan will be approved for a subdivision which includes any area subject to periodic flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage capabilities which would make adequate drainage of the streets and lots impossible, unless the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City Engineer, make the area completely safe for occupancy and provide adequate street and lot drainage.
   (C)   All plats must be consistent with the comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance and other applicable ordinances, except that certain variations may be permitted under the planned unit development review process or variance procedure.
