(A) Prior to the filing of an application for the approval of a preliminary plat, the subdivider may consult with the Plan Commission in order to gain its advice. In so doing both the subdivider and the Plan Commission can reach mutual conclusions regarding the general concept and objectives of the proposed development and possible effects on the neighborhood and the community.
(B) A preapplication conference with the village staff may be conducted at the discretion of the Plan Commission or upon the request of the developer. Any meeting of the Plan Commission shall be a part of a regularly scheduled meeting, be open to the public, and be on the agenda in advance of the meeting. Recommendations during preapplication meetings or concept reviews are advisory only for mutual benefit, do not require formal application or fee and do not bind the village to approve any or all of the preliminary plat.
