(1) The submission of the preliminary plat shall be accompanied by a fee as listed in the village’s current adopted fee schedule.
(2) After checking for compliance with the design standards and plat requirements in these regulations, the Planning Board shall recommend that the Village Council approve, approve conditionally, or disapprove the preliminary plat. If approved, the preliminary plat and the Planning Board's recommendations shall be sent to the Village Council of the Village of Walnut Creek for its action. If approved conditionally, the conditions and reasons for such action shall be stated and such conditions shall be remedied before being submitted to the Village Council for its action. Approval of the preliminary plat by the Village Council authorizes the subdivider to proceed with the construction of the required improvements in preparation for the final plat.

Appeals from this decision may be made directly to the Village Council.
(E) When a subdivision is to be developed in stages, the preliminary plat shall be submitted for the entire development. A final plat may be submitted for each stage. The first final plat shall be submitted within 12 months after approval of the preliminary plat; otherwise the preliminary plat shall become null and void, unless an extension of time is applied for and granted by the Planning Board.
