(b) Following the approval of the preliminary subdivision plan, if the developer wishes to proceed, an electronic copy of the development engineering plans shall be submitted to the online plan review at the city of Sioux Falls website for review and acceptance by the city engineering office. The development engineering plans shall encompass all land included in a phase as shown on the preliminary subdivision plan, be in compliance with conditions and approval criteria of the preliminary subdivision plan and existing and proposed easements shown and dimensioned from property lines and utilities.
(c) The development engineering plans shall comply with the respective chapters within the adopted Engineering Design Standards and with criteria within this chapter. All development utility plans shall be approved or disapproved within 15 working days after submittal to the city engineer. In addition, a development lot and block layout shall be approved by the city engineer. All development engineering plans are required to have all elements and approval criteria listed in Table 2. If these plans are approved, the developer may then submit the plat(s) and subdivision construction agreement(s) for approval.
