(A) The subdivider shall prepare and submit 15 copies of a preliminary plat, together with the supplementary material as required by § 152.046. The plat shall be filed with the Director at least 45 days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered.
(B) The Planning Commission shall review the plat and act thereon. The Commission may approve the plat as submitted or modified, it may conditionally approve the plat and stipulate the conditions of such approval, or it may disapprove the plat and express the reasons therefor. The action of the Commission shall be noted on two copies of the preliminary plat. One copy shall be returned to the subdivider and the other retained on file by the Director.
(C) Approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval of the final plat and improvement plans, but rather shall be deemed an expression of approval of the layout as a guide to preparation of the final plat.
(D) Review of the preliminary plat is based on conformance with present zoning and general conformance with the improvement requirements as stipulated in this chapter.
(E) Whether it is proposed to develop the tract in one phase or in sections or stages, layout of the entire tract is required.
