(A) For any proposed subdivision lying within one and one-half miles of the corporate limits of any municipality that has adopted and filed with the County Clerk an official comprehensive plan, which plan has been implemented by ordinance as provided by state statutes, the plan shall be submitted to the municipality for approval. However, the subdivider shall submit a copy of the preliminary plat as approved by the municipality to the County Board for review and comment.
(B) The Code Administrator, in consultation with the County Engineer shall determine if said preliminary plat complies with the rules, specifications and regulations regarding location, width, grades, and surface of roads and drainage structures established by the County Board as provided herein. Whenever the preliminary plat does not comply with the above, the County Board shall notify the municipality in writing of the specific instances of noncompliance.
(C) The County Board shall also notify the Township Highway Commissioner in writing whenever the preliminary plat contains roads or streets that are less than the specifications and regulations provided herein. The Township Highway Commissioner may refuse to accept any such noncomplying streets or roads for incorporation into or as a part of the township road system. In such cases, the subdivider shall erect a sign at least four feet by six feet, but not to exceed 30 square feet at each entrance to the subdivision stating that the streets and drainage structures within the subdivision have been refused for maintenance by the township or the county. Such information shall also be plainly printed on the plat(s).
