§ 153.140 SUBDIVISION PROCESS.
   It is the intent of this chapter to standardize and codify the process and requirements to be followed by all subdivider/developers of land within the city's jurisdiction.
   (A)   To that end, the list below outlines the typical chronological process to be followed and plans and documents to be submitted in seeking approval for the development of a subdivision. Failure to follow this prescribed process may result in either untimely delays or denial to the subdivider/developer:
      (1)   Schedule pre-application conference with city:
         (a)   Provide a sketch plan; and
         (b)   Field inspect the proposed developed area with the city.
      (2)   Submit preliminary plat for review and approval according to § 153.142;
      (3)   Submit detailed improvement plans with substantiating computations according to § 153.160;
      (4)   Construct improvements;
      (5)   Submit final plat for review and approval:
         (a)   Submit final plat checklist; and
         (b)   Submit letter of credit.
      (6)   Final inspection of improvements; and
      (7)   Submit “as-built” plans sealed by the subdivider/developer's engineer for the following:
         (a)   Roads, storm sewers and catch basins;
         (b)   Sanitary sewers; and
         (c)   Water mains (if installed by subdivider/developer).
   (B)   Every person who proposes to subdivide any land within the city's subdivision jurisdiction shall comply with the procedural process outlined above and with the substantive provisions of the sections following hereinafter.
   (C)   At the discretion of the subdivider/developer, the submission of a final plat may precede the construction of all improvements, provided that the eventual construction of the improvements is guaranteed in accordance with the provisions of §§ 153.165 through 153.168 herein.
