(a) Preapplication conference. The subdivider may wish to consult with the City Planning Commission or the City Engineer to avail himself or herself of their advice and assistance in interpreting the purpose and effect of these Regulations and the requirements and standards contained herein.
(b) Subdivision review and approval. Major subdivisions shall be reviewed and approved in two stages:
(1) Preliminary plan stage; and
(2) Final plat stage.
(c) Submission to the Ohio Director of Transportation. Before any plat is approved affecting any land within 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway, or a highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, or any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of the centerline with any public road or highway, the Commission shall give notice, by registered or certified mail, to the Director. The Commission shall not approve the plat for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director. If the Director notifies the Commission that he or she shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Commission shall refuse to approve the plat if the land is included in the plat. If the Director notifies the Commission that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest, or upon expiration of the 120-day period or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Director and the subdivider, the Commission shall, if the plat is in conformity with all provisions of these Regulations, approve the plat.
