   (a)    The subdivider shall meet with the Planning Officer or the Planning Commission prior to submitting the preliminary plat, unless such meeting shall be waived by the Planning Commission in view of the subdivider's prior familiarity with the City's Plans and Regulations.

Such meeting should familiarize the subdivider with the Comprehensive Plan, The Engineering Standards for Infrastructure Construction, the Parks and Public Open Space Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and the drainage, sewerage and water systems in the City.

   (b)    In the event the subdivider attends a preapplication meeting and obtains this advice and assistance, then he shall present a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision at that meeting.
