§ 153.021  PROCEDURE FOR CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT.
   (A)   On reaching conclusions informally as recommended in § 153.020 above regarding his or her general program and objectives, the subdivider shall cause to be prepared a preliminary plat, together with improvement plans and other supplementary material as specified in §§ 153.070 through 153.072.
   (B)   Ten copies of the preliminary plat and supplementary material specified shall be submitted to the Plan Commission with written application for conditional approval at least 20 days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered.
   (C)   At the time of filing an application for conditional approval of the preliminary plat, the application shall be accompanied by a check or money order to the Village Clerk in the amount of $200 for one to ten lots; and $50 for each additional five lots or fraction thereof to cover the cost of reviewing and verifying the proposed plat. The Village Clerk shall surrender the collected fee to the Village Treasurer for deposit in the General Fund of the village.
   (D)   Following review of the preliminary plat and other material submitted for conformity thereof to these regulations and negotiations with the subdivider on changes deemed advisable and the kind and extent of improvements to be made by him or her, the Plan Commission shall, within 30 days, act thereon as submitted or modified, and if approved, the Plan Commission shall express its approval as conditional approval and state the conditions of such approval, if any, or if disapproved, shall express its disapproval and its reasons therefor.
   (E)   The action of the Plan Commission shall be noted on three copies of the preliminary plat and supporting documentation, referenced and attached to any conditions determined. One copy shall be returned to the subdivider, one retained by the Plan Commission, and one kept on file at Village Hall.
      (1)   After conditional approval of a preliminary plat by the Plan Commission, the same shall be submitted to the Village Board for approval.
      (2)   Within 30 days after application for approval of the preliminary plat, the Village Board shall approve or disapprove it. If the Village Board approves the preliminary plat, it shall notify the Plan Commission of such approval. If the Village Board disapproves the preliminary plat, it shall set forth its reasons and additional requirements in writing and provide the applicant and the Plan Commission with a copy of the same. The applicant and the Plan Commission shall then take such additional proceedings as may be necessary to comply with the requirements and reasons of the Village Board.
   (F)   Conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval of the final plat. Rather, it shall be deemed an expression of approval to the layout submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the preparation of the final plat, which will be submitted for approval of the Plan Commission and for recording upon fulfillment of the requirements of these regulations and the conditions of the conditional approval, if any.
