(a) Application. A sketch plan complying with the requirements set forth in Section 1131.02
shall be prepared for each minor subdivision and an application for approval submitted to the office of the Director of Planning not less than ten days prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission. One print of the sketch plan shall be submitted to the Director of Engineering and the Director of Inspections. The purposes of a sketch plan layout are to furnish sufficient information to determine if it qualifies as a minor subdivision, its relation to adjacent subdivisions and compliance with other City codes.
(b) Review by Director of Engineering. The developer shall submit either a metes and bounds deed description or plat, as required, to the Director of Engineering for review and, if it is found to conform to the approved sketch plan and is otherwise satisfactory, the Director shall so certify the approval thereon within seven working days after such receipt.
(c) Action by Commission. The Commission shall take action after receipt of an application with all required maps, sketches and information and the report of the Director of Engineering as to compliance with these Regulations.
(d) Approval. The minor subdivision shall be approved if the Planning Commission determines the proposed division of land is a minor subdivision, and that:
(1) All the contiguous land owned by the developer therein can be completely subdivided;
(2) It is properly integrated with adjoining subdivisions or could be properly coordinated with the subdivision and extension of streets to adjoining land; and
(3) It complies with the planning principles and other sections of these Regulations, the Zoning Code, Guide Plan, Park and Recreation Plan, local street plans and other adopted plans of the City.
An approval notation to that effect shall be made on the sketch plan by the Chairman or Secretary of the Commission, and the developer shall be informed if a metes and bounds deed description or a plat map will be required. Three prints of the approved sketch plan shall be made by the developer and transmitted to the Commission.
(e) Disapproval. If the Commission determines that the proposed division of land is a major subdivision, or if the sketch plan is not approved for other reasons, the Commission shall state the conditions to be complied with before such division will be approved.
(f) Recording. A deed or plat shall be filed and recorded in the office of the County Auditor and the County Recorder by an authorized representative of the City within thirty days after approval by the Planning Commission. The recording fee shall be paid by the developer.
