(A) Prior to the submission of any plat for consideration by the Planning Commission, the subdivider/developer shall meet with the Chairperson of the Planning Commission or the City Planner to introduce himself or herself as a potential subdivider. He or she shall learn what shall be expected of him or her in such a capacity and to determine the relationship of his or her proposed subdivision with the Comprehensive Plan for the affected area. At this time, or at subsequent informal meetings with the city officials, the subdivider may submit a general sketch plan of the proposed subdivision and preliminary proposals for sewer and water connections. The sketch plan may be presented in simple form showing any zoning changes which would be required, and showing that consideration has been given to the relationship of the proposed subdivision to existing community facilities that would serve it, to neighboring subdivisions and development, to the topography of the site and to the Comprehensive Plan for the area.
(B) The subdivider/developer is urged to avail himself or herself of the advice and assistance of the Planning Commission and staff at this point in order to save time and effort and facilitate the approval of the preliminary plat.
