(A) General. The developer shall arrange a conference with the administrative official before a preliminary plat is submitted. The purpose of the conference is to afford the developer an opportunity to avail himself or herself of the assistance of the administrative official and/or the Commission before he prepares a preliminary plan and makes formal application for its approval. This procedure will reduce the number of unnecessary and costly changes that are often required when a plat is submitted to review before the administrative official has had an opportunity to review it.
(B) Sketch plan. The developer should have a rough sketch plan prepared before the pre-application conference to show the boundaries of the tract, the proposed street and lot arrangement and other pertinent information.
(C) Office visit. The developer should then visit the administrative official’s office and informally discuss his or her ideas with the administrative official. This informal discussion shall not constitute a formal application and will be considered confidential. The developer should also consult with the utility companies and other local agencies at this time. If a developer does not have a sketch plan, but would like to discuss certain general ideas with the administrative official, he or she should feel free to visit the administrative official’s office and discuss these ideas.
