(a) The parcel initially proposed for platting constitutes a portion of a larger tract of land owned, or under option to purchase by the subdivider;
(b) The parcel initially proposed for platting constitutes a portion of a larger land area, the development of which will be complicated by unusual problems of drainage, street layout, or utility service extensions;
(c) It is anticipated there will be three or more phases of the development of the larger tract of land owned or under option for purchase by the developer.
(2) The area general plan shall show property boundaries, land characteristics including wetlands, drainage patterns, flood prone areas as identified on flood prone area maps of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, wooded areas and major topographic features, existing streets, existing buildings, existing sewer lines, existing water lines and existing pipelines. Also to be shown on the area general plan are the conceptual layout of proposed streets, and blocks; phasing strategy; general provisions for proposed sanitary sewage collection, storm water transportation and storm water detention; public water supply; proposed location of commercial areas, residential areas, and parks or other public areas, and the proposed zoning of the development site.
(3) The area general plan shall be prepared to a proper scale of one inch equals 100 feet or larger, and to proper accuracy. Topography shall be shown with contour intervals not greater than five feet. The area general plan shall be submitted on sheets not larger than 33 inches by 51 inches. Lettering size shall not be smaller than one-twelfth of an inch.
(C) Procedures for submission. Subdivider shall submit to the Village Planner:

(2) One pdf electronic copy of the area general plan and all supportive materials.
(3) The submittal of an area general plan for a subdivision within the corporate limits of the village or within the one and one-half mile extra-territorial jurisdiction area of the village shall be accompanied by an area general plan application fee as determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees of the village.
(4) A completed area general plan application form with all required attachments and application fee.
(D) Staff review. Village staff shall review the area general plan for conformity to the requirements of applicable village regulations, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, suitability for development, proposed zoning amendments, and other applicable requirements. Village staff comments will be forwarded to the subdivider.
(E) Resubmission. The subdivider shall address the village staff comments and make modifications and revisions as deemed appropriate. Subdivider, at his option, may provide clarifying information and justifications for proposals that are inconsistent with the ordinance or village staff comments. Four full size copies, one 11 inch by 17 inch size copy, and a pdf electronic copy of the area general plan shall then be resubmitted to the Village Planner for review.
