(a) The Commission shall act on the preliminary plat within 90 days after the filing thereof, unless such time is extended by agreement with the subdividers. Subject to confirmation by Council, as hereinafter specified, the Commission shall approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the preliminary plat, noting thereon the action taken, and shall give notice to the subdivider as follows:
(1) If approved, a notation to this effect shall be entered in the record of the Commission, and the Secretary shall affix his or her signature to the preliminary plat, noting its approval, and return one copy of such plat to the subdivider for compliance with final plat requirements.
(2) If the preliminary plat is approved with modifications or disapproved, a notation of the action taken, together with the reasons therefor, shall be entered in the records of the Commission and a copy of such record, together with one copy of the preliminary plat, shall be transmitted to the subdivider. If the preliminary plat is approved with modifications, the Secretary of the Commission shall note such on the preliminary plat over his or her signature.
(b) Any approval or approval with modifications by the Commission under this section shall be referred to Council for confirmation, by resolution, prior to the giving of notice to the subdivider as specified in division (a) of this section.
(c) The approval of the preliminary plat by the Commission shall not constitute acceptance of the subdivision. It shall be considered only as an approval of the layout, with the understanding that the Village Engineer will examine all proposed improvement plans and may modify any engineering or construction details submitted by the subdivider whenever required for the protection of the public interest. The Commission may revoke its approval of the preliminary plat within 90 days of the filing thereof, but if not so revoked, the approval will be effective for one year unless extended by the Commission. If the subdivider does not file a final plat, as hereinafter set forth, within one year after the date of approval of the preliminary plat, or if the Commission does not extend its approval beyond one year, the preliminary plat shall be deemed abandoned and of no effect.
