PRELIMINARY PLAT
§ 152.030 ADVISORY MEETING WITH CITY STAFF.
   Before preparing a preliminary plat and submitting it to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval and, after submitting the sketch plan, the subdivider shall meet and consult informally with the city staff for the purpose of reviewing the locations of proposed major streets, bicycle/pedestrian paths, parks, playgrounds, school sites and other planned projects which may affect the property being considered for subdivision. At the same meeting, the subdivider shall review with the city staff the minimum standards of subdivision design set forth in § 152.076. This informal review should prevent unnecessary and costly revisions in the layout and development of the subdivision. Formal application or filing of a plat with the city is not required for this informal advisory meeting.
