The Planning and Zoning Board shall conduct a public hearing in accordance with section 4.1.2 of this ordinance and then review the preliminary plat along with the comments and recommendations of the Village Planner. This process continues until compliance is determined. The Planning and Zoning Board then submit its recommendations regarding the preliminary plat to the Village Council. Once the Planning and Zoning Board has submitted its recommendation on a proposed subdivision to the Village Council, the Village Council shall conduct a public hearing in accordance with section 4.1.2 of this ordinance and then review the preliminary plat and the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendations, and approves, conditionally approves, or rejects the preliminary plat; Prior to the submittal of the preliminary plat to the Village Planner, the subdivider, at their discretion may submit a sketch plan (Appendix A) for initial review and comment.
   (C)   After the Village Council approves the preliminary plat and the Village Engineer approves construction plans for all proposed public improvements, the applicant then proceeds to make land dedications and install improvements on the property in accordance with the approved preliminary plat. Upon carrying out the improvements, the applicant submits a final plat for approval by the Village Planner. The final plat is approved when the applicant has properly made all dedications and properly installed all improvements that are required by this Ordinance and the approved preliminary plat and construction plans.
