(A) Purpose. The preapplication conference is intended to assist the city in coordinating separate land developments, particularly street and drainage plans, so that orderly development is achieved, to familiarize the subdivider with applicable plans, policies, requirements, and procedures, and to begin to identify potential waiver requests in order to expedite platting and construction.
(B) Participants. The subdivider shall request the Inspector to schedule a preapplication conference to be attended by the City Administrator, the City Engineer (at the city's discretion), the subdivider or the subdivider's engineer or their authorized representatives and such others as may be deemed necessary by any of the above participants. The Inspector shall schedule the preapplication conference, within 14 days of receipt of a request for such conference, unless a later date is acceptable to the subdivider. The conference shall be held prior to submission of the preliminary plat or in the event that only a final plat is to be submitted, the conference shall be held prior to submission of the final plat.
(C) Area general plan. At the preapplication conference, the subdivider or representatives of the subdivider shall submit an area general plan showing contiguous and adjacent parcels owned wholly or in part by the owner or subdivider or for which the owner or subdivider has an option to purchase or any other interest and the area adjacent to the boundaries of the tract proposed to be shown on the preliminary plat. The area general plan shall identify proposed land uses and shall show, as appropriate, the following:
(1) Existing zoning and the boundaries thereof.
(2) Topography and natural features, such as drainage channels, swales, flood prone areas, and flood hazard boundaries.
