(a) Preapplication Phase. Prior to the preparation of the preliminary plan, the subdivider should meet with the Planning Commission or its designated representative. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss early and informally the purpose and effect of these Regulations, the Parks and Public Open Space Plan, zoning regulations and the appropriate drainage, sewerage and water systems regulations.
(b) Application Phase. After the preapplication meeting the subdivider shall prepare and file a preliminary plan for approval with the Planning Commission. This plan must be submitted with as many copies as may be required by the Planning Commission, according to the standards and other requirements of these Regulations. The preliminary plan must be prepared by a registered professional engineer and/or registered surveyor as prescribed by Ohio R.C. Chapter 4733. The preliminary plan shall be considered officially filed on the day accepted by the Planning Commission and shall be dated. In addition to the preliminary plan, a preliminary plan application form must be completed. This application form is available from the Planning Commission and acts as both a descriptive and informative tool of the Commission.
(c) General Provisions.
(1) Before any plat is approved affecting any land within:
A. 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway or a highway for which changes are proposed as described in a certification to the Planning Commission (Ohio R.C. 511.01) by the State Director of Transportation; or
B. A radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of this centerline with any public road or highway, the Planning Commission shall give written notice (by either registered or certified mail) to the State Director of Transportation. The Commission shall not approve the plat for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director. If the Director notifies the Commission that he shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Commission shall refuse to approve the plat. If the Director notifies the Commission that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest or upon the expiration of the 120 day period or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Director and the property owner, the Commission shall (if the plat is in conformance with all provisions of the regulations) approve the plat.
