APPENDIX A: PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR A-1

   (1)   The plat approval for subdivisions is begun in the office of the Code Administrator. A preliminary application is issued to the person wishing to subdivide, who must follow the guidelines on A-1 (both requirements and necessary reviews).

   (2)   Once the preliminary application is completed, the Code Administrator places it on the next Subdivision and Land Use Committee agenda, publishes the notice and sends a letter to all contiguous owners.

   (3)   The Subdivision and Land Use Committee sends their approval or disapproval within 60 days to the County Board.

   (4)   With approval from the Board, the plat may be finalized by having all necessary signatures, notice of school district involved and any other needed documentation. This is then again brought to the Subdivision and Land Use Committee; they send their approval within 90 days to the County Board. Upon approval by the Board, the plat can be recorded.

   (5)   If any change is necessary for the plat, the process begins again.
