(A) At least one week before the submittal of a petition for subdivision plat approval, the petitioner shall participate in a sketch plan review with the Plan Commission staff. This meeting serves to notify staff of a proposed application, and to advise the petitioner of any preliminary requirements.
(B) The application shall show the manner in which the plat of the subdivision is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and its provisions, specifically with relation to the requirements of the Thoroughfare Plan, school and recreational sites, shopping centers, community facilities, sanitation, water supply and drainage, and other developments existing and proposed in the vicinity. However, no land shall be subdivided for residential use unless adequate access to the land over improved streets or thoroughfares exists or will be provided by the petitioner, or if the land is considered by the Plan Commission to be unsuitable for such use by reason of flooding or improper drainage, objectionable earth and rock formation, topography, or any other feature harmful to the health and safety of possible residents and the community as a whole.
