The purpose of the preapplication phase, insofar as possible, is to guide and assist the subdivider in his future decisions with a view to avoiding later difficulties and delays. During an informal meeting with the planning commission, the subdivider should make known his tentative plans for subdividing and development. Sketch plans may be submitted as exhibits and shall be apprised by the planning commission concerning specific public policies and objectives which the planning commission may have for the area in question. Discussions at this phase will include the entire area of ownership and anticipated development. (Ord. 287, 11-8-1982)
