§ 155.020 PRELIMINARY PLAT; PREPARING AND FILING.
   (A)   Prior to the preparation of the preliminary plat, the subdivider shall prepare a subdivision sketch plan for review by the Planning Commission. The sketch plan will be submitted as a basis for informal discussion between the subdivider and the Planning Commission and shall not constitute formal filing of the plat with the city. The Planning Commission shall provide advice and assistance to the subdivider but will take no action on the sketch plan. The sketch plan should, as a minimum, show the site’s location in the community, the type of development proposed, and preliminary lot and road layout including proposed minimum lot size. The subdivider shall pay the expense (if any) incurred by the city for the services to the city and/or Planning Commission of the Engineer and Attorney in the review of the sketch plan.
   (B)   When the subdivider feels he or she is ready to prepare the preliminary plat, he or she shall have his or her surveyor and/or planner draw one which is in conformity with the requirements of this chapter, as described in §§ 155.080 et seq.
   (C)   The subdivider shall fill out an application for consideration of planning request, or other application blanks as may be required. At the time of filing, the subdivider shall pay appropriate fees as set forth in Chapter 34.
   (D)   The subdivider shall furnish the City Manager-Clerk with 12 copies of the preliminary plat at least 15 days prior to the Planning Commission meeting at which it is to be considered.
