The following documents are required to be submitted along with
a subdivision plan application:
A. A sketch plan. A sketch plan is strongly recommended by the City.
The purposes of a sketch plan are:
(1) To allow the developer the opportunity to discuss subdivision design
with the Commission and any other appropriate City or county agency.
(2) To allow the Planning Commission to explain the submission requirements
and set up a time schedule with the applicant.
(3) To avoid costly architectural/engineering drawings on a plan which
may not be feasible.
B. A preliminary plan: a submission of graphic exhibits and reports
explaining the location and extent of the development, the physical
features of the site, the proposed improvements and the servicing
impact on the developer and the community. A preliminary plan gives
this data in less detail as a basis for consideration of a final plan.
C. A final plan: a submission more exact and specific than a preliminary
plan as befits an official document for recording purposes, but requiring
similar information. A sketch plan and a preliminary plan are recommended
methodology to ensure complete communication of development intentions
and coordinate the supplemental activities necessary to approval of
a final plan.
Before the Planning Commission grants final approval of the

[Amended 4-2-2002]

for a monetary payment in lieu of land regulation. Procedures and
requirements are stated in § 33, Subdivision 4, of the General
