(A) This section is not applicable to PUD zoned areas.
(B) Upon approval of a preliminary plat, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall certify one copy thereof to the Council for approval or disapproval. Failure of Council to approve or disapprove the preliminary plat at the next regular meeting occurring more than ten days following certification of the plat to Council shall be deemed to constitute approval of the preliminary plat by Council, unless a further delay is agreed to by the subdivider. Approval by Council of the preliminary plat shall constitute approval of the layout of the streets and public grounds shown thereon, and shall evidence Council's intention to accept the dedication of the same upon approval by the Commission of the final plat. The approval of the preliminary plat shall be effective for a maximum period of 24 months unless an extension is granted by the Commission.
(C) The approval of the preliminary plat does not constitute an acceptance of the subdivision, but merely authorizes the developer to proceed with work of the final plat. One copy of the approved preliminary plat signed by the secretary of the Planning and Zoning Commission, attesting to such approval, and the Mayor, shall be retained in the office of the Clerk-Treasurer. One signed copy shall be given to the subdivider and one copy to the Municipal Engineer.
(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 the subdivision 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 to 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 the subdivision regulations. Following this approval, construction can be started or the amount of a bond determined, as provided.
