12.04: QUALIFICATIONS GOVERNING APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT:
   A.   The planning commission may return a conditional report to the city council. The city council may require such changes or revisions as it deems necessary for the health, safety, general welfare and convenience of the city.
   B.   The approval of the preliminary plat by the planning commission and city council is tentative only, involving merely the general acceptability of the layout as submitted.
   C.   Subsequent approval will be required on the engineering proposals pertaining to water supply, storm drainage, sewerage and sewage disposal, sidewalks, gas and electric service, grading, gradients and roadway widths and the surfacing of streets, by the public works department and other public officials having jurisdiction, prior to the approval of the final plat by the city.
   D.   No plan will be approved for a subdivision which covers an area subject to periodic flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage facilities, and which would make adequate drainage of the streets and lots impossible, unless the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the public works director, make the area completely safe for occupancy, and provide adequate street and lot drainage.
   E.   No plat will be accepted that cannot be adequately serviced with sanitary sewer and municipal water, unless a variance is granted. (Ord. 10, 6th Series, eff. 3-2-2009)
