(A) The Planning Commission may return a conditional report to the Council. The Council may require such changes or revisions as it deems necessary for the health, safety, general welfare and convenience of the city.
(B) The approval of a preliminary plat by the Planning Commission and Council is tentative only, involving merely the general acceptability of the layout as submitted.
(C) Subsequent approval by the City Engineer and the city’s public utilities of utility and storm sewer easements and of the engineering proposals required by this chapter pertaining to water supply, storm drainage, grading, erosion control, sewage disposal, sidewalks, gas and electric service, street gradients and roadway widths and surfacing of streets shall be necessary prior to the approval of the final plat by the city.
(D) No plat will be approved for a subdivision which covers an area subject to periodic flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage facilities which would make adequate drainage of the streets and lots impossible, unless the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City Engineer, make the area completely safe for occupancy and provide adequate street and lot drainage.
(E) All plats containing lots that cannot be served by city sanitary sewer and where the intention is to utilize on-site sanitary sewer systems shall require approval by the County Sanitarian, and may be subject to possible use restrictions regulated through covenants and deed restrictions.
