§ 153.087 APPROVAL GOVERNED BY CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS.
   (A)   The approval of a preliminary plan by the City Council is tentative only, involving merely the general acceptability of the layout as submitted.
   (B)   The City Council may recommend or require the changes or revisions as are deemed necessary in the interest and needs of the community.
   (C)   Subsequent approval will be required of the engineering proposals pertaining to water supply, storm drainage, sewerage and sewage disposal, gas and electric service, street lighting, fire hydrants, grading, gradients and roadway widths and the surfacing of streets by the City Engineer.
   (D)   No plat will be approved for the subdivision of land which is subject to periodic flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage facilities and which would make adequate drainage of the streets impossible. However, if the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City Engineer where concerned, make the area completely safe for residential occupancy and provide adequate street drainage, the preliminary plan of the subdivision may be approved.
   (E)   The approval of a preliminary plan by the City Council is strictly tentative, involving merely the general acceptability of the layout submitted. This approval shall be effective for a maximum period of 12 months, unless upon application of the developer, the City Council grants an extension. If the final plat has not been recorded within this time limit, the preliminary plan must again be submitted for approval.
