PRELIMINARY PLAT
(A) After the pre-submittal conference and general approval of the sketch plan, the subdivider shall submit a preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision, prepared by a licensed professional surveyor; and other exhibits as hereinafter specified. The subdivider shall submit to the Planning and Zoning Department a digital copy of the preliminary plat, in a format determined by the Planning and Zoning Director.

(1) Significant changes in land uses are proposed or higher density zoning is sought;
(2) Access to a collector or arterial street is requested or the existing location of access to the property is changed;
(3) The proposed increased activity or intensity of development will significantly impact vehicular or pedestrian traffic on town streets;
(4) A total of 50 or more vehicular trips during an a.m. or p.m. peak hour is expected to be generated by the proposed development; and
(5) Whether proposed streets are designed for on-street parking or if parking is provided on individual sites/lots or in common parking areas.
(D) The subdivider shall be required to provide financial assurances or complete the installation of any improvements, including pedestrian trails, determined necessary to maintain or improve traffic circulation, operations and traffic safety in direct proportion to the impact caused by the proposed development (see §§ 153.080 through 153.087 below).
