The procedure for approval of the preliminary plat shall be:
(a) The owner shall first submit two (2) AutoCAD designed prints of the preliminary plat and profiles and other information required by Section 1115.01
to the City Engineer who shall check the plat against all requirements listed in these Subdivision Regulations.
(b) The City Engineer shall then forward the prints of the preliminary plat and profiles together with his comments and recommendations to the Planning Commission.
(c) The Commission shall set a date at which the plat is to be considered and shall notify the owner of such a time and place so the owner may attend.
(d) The Commission shall by record vote determine to approve or disapprove the plat as submitted or as modified to meet its suggestions.
(e) If the vote of Commission is to approve the preliminary plat, it shall send the plat to Council with a written report of its action. If the vote of the Commission is to disapprove, its action is final unless the owner elects to appeal the adverse report to Council within twenty days after the decision of the Commission.
(f) If the report of the Commission is favorable, the Council may, by record vote, approve or disapprove the plat by a majority vote of all members of Council. If the action of the Commission is to disapprove the plat, the Council can only approve the plat by a three-fourths (3/4) vote of all of its members. All actions by both the Commission and Council shall be set forth in the minutes of their meeting.
(g) If Council approves the preliminary plat, within one (1) year the owner may proceed with the final plat which shall include all modifications as suggested by the Commission or Council. The Secretary of the Commission shall retain two (2) copies of the plat and profiles showing all changes and modifications as approved by the Commission and Council. The copies shall be used to check the final plat when it is submitted for compliance with the Commission and Council’s actions.
(h) The owner shall have the right to submit the preliminary plat and profiles at the same time the owner submits the final plat to the Commission, however due to the numerous details and criteria that must be presented, and the required input from various public officials and agencies, it is recommended that only a preliminary plat and street profiles first be submitted to the Commission.
