The Plan Commission shall within sixty (60) days of the date of the filing of a Preliminary Plat (including a Landscape Plan, as applicable) with the Village Administrator or designee recommend to the Village Board approval, conditional approval, or rejection of the Preliminary Plat (including the Landscape Plan, as applicable), and shall transmit the Preliminary Plat and application, along with its recommendation, to the Village Board. [Pursuant to Section 236.l l(l)(a), Wis. Stats., extensions of time from the timeline in Subsection (b)(l) above or a decision to hold an application in abeyance may only be made by written agreement between the Subdivider/Developer and Village Board, not the Plan Commission.] The Subdivider or Condominium Developer shall be notified in writing of any recommended conditions for approval or the reasons for rejection.

(1) The Village Board shall within ninety (90) days of the date of filing a Preliminary Plat with the Village Administrator or designee shall approve, approve conditionally, or reject such Plat after receipt of the Plan Commission's recommendation, unless review time is extended by written agreement with the Subdivider or Condominium Developer pursuant to Section 236.l l(l)(a), Wis. Stats.
(2) The Village Administrator shall give notice of the Village Board's consideration of the Preliminary Plat by listing it as an agenda item in the Village Board's meeting notice published in the official Village newspaper or legally posted where there is no newspaper published within the municipality.

(e) Failure of Village Board to Act. Failure of the Village Board to act within ninety (90) days of the date of filing of the Preliminary Plat, or within the time extended by written agreement with the Subdivider or Condominium Developer (as applicable), shall constitute an approval of the Preliminary Plat pursuant to state law.
(f) Effect of Preliminary Plat Approval. Approval or conditional approval of a Preliminary Plat shall not constitute automatic approval of the Final Plat, except that if the Final Plat is submitted within thirty-six (36) months of Preliminary Plat approval and conforms substantially to the Preliminary Plat layout, the Final Plat shall be entitled to approval with respect to such layout pursuant to Sec. 236.ll(l)(b), Wis.

If a Final Plat is not submitted within thirty-six (36) months of Preliminary Plat Approval, the Preliminary Plat approval shall be void; previous Preliminary Plat approvals shall constitute grounds for automatic approval upon resubmission.
(g) Preliminary Plat Amendment. Should the Subdivider or Condominium Developer desire to amend the Preliminary Plat as approved, he/she may resubmit the amended plat which shall follow the same procedure, except for the fee, unless the amendment is, in the opinion of the Village Board, of such scope as to constitute a new plat, in which such case it shall be refiled in its entirety.
