Preliminary plans not containing all of the above data will not be approved. Preliminary plans must be approved by the Commission and by Council in accordance with Section 1222.02.
Approval of the preliminary plan does not constitute an acceptance of the subdivision by the Village. One copy of the approved preliminary plan, signed by the Chairman of the Commission and the Mayor, shall be retained in the office of the Village Clerk. One signed copy shall be given to the subdivider.
Receipt of this signed copy is authorization for the subdivider to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications for the minimum improvements required in Section 1222.12, and with the preparation of the final plat. Prior to the construction of any improvements required in Section 1222.12, or to the submission of any bond, the subdivider shall furnish 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 Section 1222.12. Following this approval, construction can be started or the amount of a bond determined.
If the final plat conforms to the approved preliminary plat and if the necessary improvements are constructed in accordance with the approved plans therefor or a satisfactory bond submitted assuring their construction in accordance with the approved plans, the final plat will be approved by the Commission and by Council.
