[Code 1992, § 18.04(1)]
It is recommended that the subdivider, prior to preparation
of plans and other documents required for an application for approval
of a preliminary plat, consult with the plan commission and other
city officials relative to requirements of the master plan, city zoning
ordinance, this chapter and other applicable codes and ordinances
of the city. Request for such consultation does not require filing
an application and payment of a fee, but it is suggested that the
subdivider have a preliminary sketch plan of the proposed subdivision.
[Code 1992, § 18.04(2)(a)]
Any person contemplating the subdivision of land within the
city or its extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction before submitting
a final plat for approval shall file with the city clerk at least
10 days prior to a regular meeting of the plan commission, legible
prints of a preliminary plat conforming to the master plan, regulations
contained in this chapter governing preliminary plats and other applicable
codes and ordinances of the city. The subdivider shall provide 11
such prints at his expense.
[Code 1992, § 18.04(5)(b)]
The submission of the prints of the preliminary plat shall constitute
official filing, and the city clerk shall note on each print the date
filed and shall immediately forward copies to the following:
[Code 1992, § 18.04(2)(c)]
(a)
The plan commission shall, within 90 days of the submission of the
preliminary plat, review the plat and negotiate with the subdivider
on changes deemed advisable, approve, approve conditionally or reject
such plat. The subdivider shall be notified in writing of any conditions
of approval or the reasons for rejections. Pursuant to W.S.A., ch.
236, no approval shall be granted until it has been certified that
there is no objection to the plat by any agency authorized to object.
(b)
Upon such approval by the plan commission, two copies of the approved
preliminary plat shall be signed by the chairman of the plan commission.
Both copies shall be transmitted to the city clerk, one for the official
file; the other to be transmitted to the subdivider.
