If the land to be subdivided does not qualify as a minor subdivision, as defined in § 151.041, the subdivider must submit a sketch plan prior to submitting a preliminary plan. A registered surveyor, licensed engineer or a landscape architect can prepare the sketch plan. Smaller subdivisions may be submitted in sketch plan form if the subdivider wishes. If the subdivider wishes to submit one, it must be submitted to the Subdivision Administrator. The subdivider or his or her representative should explain the plan, answer questions, and advise the Subdivision Administrator of how the sketch relates to the Subdivision Ordinance. The subdivider shall submit two copies of the sketch plan containing the following
information adhering to the standards of §§ 151.075 through 151.086 for review by the Greene County Subdivision Administrator.
(A) Sketch plan requirements.
(1) Subdivision data block, including:
(a) Proposed name and location.
(b) Acreage in tract.
(c) Acreage to be subdivided.
(d) Number of lots proposed.
(e) Scale of map and north arrow.
(f) Zoning designation.
(2) Existing conditions:

The Subdivision Administrator shall advise the subdivider or his or her authorized agent of the regulations pertaining to the proposed subdivision and the procedures to be followed in the preparation and submission of the preliminary and final plats. This review shall in no way be construed as constituting an official action of approval for recording of the subdivision by the Planning Board or Greene County Board of Commissioners as required by this chapter. A copy shall be retained by the Subdivision Administrator, and the other copy shall be returned to the subdivider or his or her authorized agent.
