the Planning Commission will be considered at the Commission's next
regularly scheduled meeting, provided that they are received at least
10 calendar days in advance of such meeting.

The initial plan filed with the Commission for review shall be considered the official preliminary plan. However, the Commission may proceed to final action at the first consideration of a plan for a small subdivision containing no new streets, if the plan and supporting data comply with all of the requirements for final plans (Article V).
D.
The subdivider may prepare a sketch plan for informal
discussion with the Commission prior to submitting the official preliminary
plan for review. This plan shall be for the purpose of establishing
in advance, if possible, the extent to which the proposed subdivision

(3)
Plan reviews include Erosion and Sedimentation Control
and Stormwater Management Plans in accordance with applicable city
and state regulations.

Improvements. Review of improvements agreements will
be billed independently of the subdivision review fee on an hourly
basis in accordance with the current established schedule.
