11-4-1: GENERAL:
Before subdividing any tract or parcel of land in the Village and the unincorporated areas one and one-half (11/2) miles beyond the Village limits, an owner or subdivider may submit a pre-application plan and shall submit preliminary, engineering and final plans to be acted upon by the Village in accordance with the procedures set out in this Chapter. (Ord. 91-21, 8-6-1991)
11-4-2: PRE-APPLICATION PLAN:
   A.   Intent: The subdivider may file a pre-application plan in order to obtain information regarding the official plan and development policies of the Village, the procedures for subdivision of land, existing and projected development conditions or other pertinent factors.
   B.   Filing: The subdivider shall file with the Village Clerk three (3) copies of a pre-application plan at the office of the Village Clerk. No formal application or fee payment is required. The Village Clerk shall forward a copy of the sketch plan to the Development Committee of the Village Board and the Village staff for review and discussion.
   C.   Review: The Development Committee may, at its option, review the pre-application plan and may make recommendations to the subdivider or, at its option, refer said plan to the Plan Commission for review and recommendation. Either the Development Committee or the Plan Commission may decline to perform a pre-application review. Recommendations relative to a pre-application plan are advisory and do not obligate the Plan Commission or Village Board to approve later phases or plans. (Ord. 91-21, 8-6-1991)
11-4-3: PRELIMINARY PLAN:
   A.   Intent: The preliminary plan phase is intended to assure that the subdivision complies with the provisions of this Title, the Wayne Zoning Ordinance 1 (if applicable) and that it is laid out in accordance with the land's suitability and limitations for development.
   B.   Filing:
      1.   The subdivider shall file with the Village Clerk seven (7) copies of the preliminary plat, the filing fee and all accompanying information required by this Title. Submittal of the preliminary plan shall be at least thirty (30) days prior to the Plan Commission meeting at which the subdivider proposes to appear. The Village Clerk shall forward the preliminary plan to the Village staff and the Plan Commission for their review and recommendation to the Village Board, and shall also notify the Village Board of the filing of the plan.
      2.   The subdivider shall file an application with the Kane-DuPage Soil and Water Conservation District for a natural resource information report. Preliminary plan approval shall not be granted by the Plan Commission until the report has been received by the Village.
      3.   In the case where the subdivider wishes to subdivide only a portion of the total area to be subdivided, the preliminary plan shall include the proposed general layout for the entire area. The phase which is proposed to be subdivided shall be clearly superimposed upon the overall plan. Each phase of the entire area shall be self-contained, including all onsite and offsite improvements, easements and rights of way required to serve the portion to be subdivided.
   C.   Review:
      1.   The Plan Commission shall recommend approval or disapproval of the preliminary plan within ninety (90) days from the date of filing of the last item of required information. Such time period may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the Plan Commission. If the Plan Commission recommends disapproval, the Plan Commission shall advise the Village Board in writing of the reasons for its disapproval.
      2.   Upon receipt of the Plan Commission's recommendation of approval or disapproval of a preliminary plan, the Village Board shall approve or deny the preliminary plan not later than sixty (60) days after the next regular Village Board meeting following the date of the Plan Commission's approval. Such time period may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the Village Board.
      3.   The Plan Commission may recommend in writing and the Village Board may require such conditions, changes or revisions to the preliminary plan as are deemed necessary in the interest and needs of the community in keeping with the provisions of this Title.
      4.   The subdivider shall be notified in writing of any conditions of approval or reasons for denial of a preliminary plan. Upon approval by the Village Board, the Village Clerk shall mark the preliminary plan "approved" and distribute prints of said plan to the Plan Commission, Village Engineer, the Building and Zoning Department, Village Attorney and the subdivider. Two (2) prints shall be retained by the Village Clerk for filing.
      5.   Approval of the preliminary plan shall be effective for a period of one year. Should improvement plans and a final plat not be submitted for approval within this period, the preliminary plan shall again be submitted for approval unless an extension is requested by the subdivider and granted by the Village Board within such one year period. (Ord. 91-21, 8-6-1991)

The Village Clerk shall forward the engineering plans to the Village Engineer and to such governmental authorities having jurisdiction over any improvements for their review and recommendations.
   C.   Review: The Village Engineer and such other officials who may have jurisdiction shall review the engineering plan for conformity with the provisions of this and other applicable ordinances.
