(A) Whenever the owner of any tract or parcel of land in the planning jurisdiction of the town intends to make a subdivision, the subdivider shall, before preparing a preliminary plat, meet and consult informally with the Plan Commission for the purpose of ascertaining the locations of proposed major streets, parks, playgrounds, school sites, and other planned projects which may affect the property being considered for the subdivision. At this meeting, the Plan Commission will identify the proposed site on the town’s zoning map and discuss potential problems of the site with the developer.
(B) In order to assist the Commission in evaluating the proposed development, the subdivider shall submit a sketch plan to the Commission at the advisory meeting. This sketch plan shall include, as a minimum, the proposed lot layout, proposed street layout with street names (subject to approval by the Plan Commission in coordination with 911 emergency services), location of adjoinment with existing streets and public utilities, and proposed subdivision name. The information provided with the sketch plan will also help the Commission ascertain which other review agencies, if any, need to be involved in the subdivision review and approval process. At the same meeting, the subdivider should review with the Plan Commission the minimum standards of subdivision design set forth in §§ 151.040 to 151.057 and as required by the town’s construction standards. This informal review should prevent unnecessary and costly revisions in the layout and development of the subdivision.
