(1) Any owner of land which is within the corporate limits of the village or within the jurisdictional area of such corporate limits on unincorporated land, wishing to divide the same into building lots for purposes of sale or assessment or both or wishing to dedicate streets, alleys, or other lands for public use, shall first apply, in writing in quadruplicate, for conditional approval of the subdivision and submit with application five black and white prints of the preliminary plat to the Board of Trustees, by filing same with the Village Clerk. The Village Clerk will forward copies of the application and prints to the Chairperson of the Plan Commission. The preliminary plat will not be considered, as submitted, unless it is in agreement with specifications and accompanied by required documents.
