(A) The Planning Commission, or its duly authorized representative, shall review the preliminary plat including determination of its conformance to the requirements of these regulations, and shall consider the recommendations and/or comments of all city departments and/or other agencies and shall then take one of the following actions: (1) approve the plat, (2) approve the plat subject to conditions or (3) disapprove the plat; within 90 consecutive calendar days from the date of receipt, per state enabling legislation (KRS 100.281 (1)), unless such time is extended by agreement between the Planning Commission, or its duly authorized representative, and the subdivider or developer. Approval of the preliminary plat by the Commission does not constitute approval of the subdivision, but is merely an authorization to proceed with the preparation of the final plat.
(B) In the event of disapproval or conditional approval of the preliminary plat, a statement in writing by the Planning Commission, or its duly authorized representative, setting forth the reasons for disapproval or the conditions of approval, shall be made to the subdivider or developer.
(C) Approval or conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall be valid for a period of 12 consecutive calendar months, except that if a portion of an approved preliminary plat is approved and accepted as a final plat, said approval or conditional approval of the remainder of the preliminary plat shall be valid for 12 consecutive calendar months after the date of approval of said final plat, unless further extended by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may, upon receipt of a request by the subdivider or developer, grant an extension to this 12-month period if prevailing conditions have not changed appreciably. This extension shall not exceed 12 consecutive calendar months.
