§ I-5.002 LAYOUT PLAN.
   (A)   General.
      (1)   The applicant shall provide a layout plan of the proposed subdivision to the Planning and Zoning Department for review and discussion. The layout plan will enable the applicant and the planner to render an informal preliminary review of the proposed subdivision for general scope and conditions which might affect the plat.
      (2)   Approval of a layout plan does not constitute or indicate that staff, the Planning and Zoning Board, or County Commission will support the conditions of the layout plan. It merely indicates a list of items that must be completed or met in order for the property to be subdivided.
   (B)   Procedure.
      (1)   A layout plan shall be required for all subdivisions unless specifically waived by the administrative official.

      (4)   Layout plans shall be legibly presented, be drawn to a legible scale and shall show the information listed in division (D) below.
   (C)   Layout plan review fee. A fee shall be charged at the time of the layout plan submittal to cover the cost of review. The fee is due and payable at the Planning and Zoning Department at the time of the layout plan submittal. A schedule of fees for plans shall be established by the Planning and Zoning Board and approved by the County Commission by resolution.
