  § 728.04. Preliminary plat application procedures.  

Latest version.

  • All plats which require the approval of the Mayor and Council shall be submitted for review through the preparation of preliminary plat in accordance with those standards set forth herein.

    A.

    The preliminary plat and supplementary data shall be submitted to the Development Services Director for review by all relevant City staff. Each department will either recommend approval or reject the plat with written comments within 45 days of receipt. If not recommended for approval, the applicant shall revise the plat and resubmit until deemed in compliance with all necessary codes. Once staff concludes their review and recommends approval, the preliminary plat shall automatically be placed on the next City Council meeting agenda, regular or called, for their consideration. If the plat in question is approved, either as is or as amended, the plat shall be approved as per the motion. If the plat is not approved, it shall be referred back to the Development Services Director for modification and resubmission by the developer/applicant, and the process shall start over.

    B.

    The Development Services Director shall return 1 copy of the preliminary plat to the applicant, with all comments, actions taken, and any changes required noted thereon. The Department of Development Services shall retain 2 copies of all approved preliminary plats.

    C.

    Approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval of the final plat. Rather, it shall be deemed an expression of conditional approval of the layout submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the preparation of the final plat, which must be submitted for approval by the Mayor and Council upon completion of all required improvements, including, but not limited to, roadways, water distribution lines, sanitary sewer lines, storm drainage facilities, and other required improvements. The Public Works Director shall verify the completion of said improvements and any other conditions prior to the acceptance of any proposed final plat.
