Acceptance of the sketch plan does not assure acceptance of the preliminary plat.
(A) Submittal: The proprietor shall file two (2) copies of the sketch plan and other data to the City Clerk at least ten (10) days before a meeting of the Planning Commission. The date of the Planning Commission meeting shall be considered the filing date. Copies shall be distributed by the City Clerk to:
(1) Planning Commission.
(2) City Zoning Administrator.
(B) Review Procedure:
(1) The subdivider shall submit two (2) copies of the pre-preliminary plat to the City Clerk ten (10) days before the next meeting of the Planning Commission.
(2) The City Clerk shall promptly transmit the two (2) copies of the pre-preliminary plat to the Planning Commission.

Pre-preliminary plat review is an aid to the developer and to the city. Under this procedure, a developer is provided with the opportunity to obtain the advice and assistance of the City Planner and Engineer and the many agencies involved in subdividing, before preparation of the preliminary plat and its submission for approval.
Nothing in this section shall be so construed as to require any pre-application contact. Any subdivider may elect to begin the subdivision procedure by submitting a preliminary plat for tentative approval, as set forth below.
