Editor's Note: Ord. No. 08-17 § 1, adopted 8-19-2008, repealed §§ 405.200 — 405.330 and enacted new provisions set out herein. Former §§ 405.200 — 405.330 were adopted 10-15-2002 by Ord. No. 02-19 §§ 1 — 5.
[R.O. 2017 § 405.200; Ord. No. 08-17 § 1, 8-19-2008]
All subdivision of land not otherwise classified as a minor subdivision nor in conformity with the requirements for minor subdivision approval shall be subject to the major subdivision requirements and procedures of this Article.
[R.O. 2017 § 405.210; Ord. No. 08-17 § 1, 8-19-2008]
Prior to filing a plat for approval of a major subdivision ("major subdivision"), the applicant may, but is not required to, submit a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision for oral comments from the Commission. Having the Commission's initial comments regarding the sketch plan may allow the formal process and documentation required for approval of a major subdivision to proceed more efficiently. Comments by the Commission on a sketch plan are not binding on the Commission. A sketch plan of a proposed subdivision is conceptual in nature and need not be submitted in any particular form; provided, however, the more the sketch plan resembles and conforms with the requirements for the submittal of a preliminary plat for a major subdivision the more informative comments the applicant will likely receive. If the applicant desires to have the sketch plan reviewed by the City Engineer, the applicant shall be responsible for the payment of any fees associated with the review by the City Engineer.
[R.O. 2017 § 405.220; Ord. No. 08-17 § 1, 8-19-2008]

I. 
Effect Of Preliminary Plat Approval. Approval of the preliminary plat by the Board of Aldermen constitutes approval of the subdivision as to the character and intensity of development, the arrangement and approximate dimension of streets, lots and other planned features, and authorizes the applicant to proceed to prepare a final plat and construction plans (as defined in Section 405.270) for all required improvements. Approval of the preliminary plat shall not authorize the sale of lots or the construction of buildings or public improvements, nor shall it constitute acceptance by the City of any dedicated improvements.
[R.O. 2017 § 405.260; Ord. No. 08-17 § 1, 8-19-2008]
A. 
Effective Period. The approval of the preliminary plat shall be effective for a period of twelve (12) months (the "expiration date"), unless an extension of time is timely requested and granted. The final plat shall be submitted and approved by the Commission on or before the expiration date (as may be extended). If the applicant fails to obtain approval of the final plat within the expiration date, the approval of the preliminary plat shall be nullified and a preliminary plat shall be resubmitted to the Commission for approval. Any preliminary plat which is required to be resubmitted for failure to obtain timely approval of a final plat shall be subject to the subdivision regulations and other applicable laws in effect at the time of resubmittal.
B. 
Time Extensions. Requests for extension of expiration date shall be made in writing to the Commission at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration date. Upon a timely request, together with the payment of the applicable extension fee, the Commission, at its sole discretion, may grant an extension of the effective date. The Commission may grant up to a total of three (3) extensions of the expiration date [for a maximum effective period for an approved preliminary plat of thirty (30) months]. If the Commission grants an extension of expiration date, the six (6) month extension shall take effect and be calculated from the date the expiration date was previously to expire. Any extension of the effective date is subject to the preliminary plat being revised to comply with the subdivision regulations then in effect at the time of such extension.
[R.O. 2017 § 405.270; Ord. No. 08-17 § 1, 8-19-2008]

A. 
At any time after obtaining the City Engineer's approval of the construction plans, the applicant may submit a draft final plat to the Commission for their initial comments in advance of the filing of the actual final plat ("final plat"). Having the Commission's initial comments regarding the final plat prior to completing the construction and other requirements for approval of a final plat may reduce the time needed to obtain approval of the final plat.
B. 
In the event the applicant elects to submit a draft final plat for comments by the Commission, the applicant shall submit the draft final plat to the City Clerk at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the meeting at which the applicant would like for the Commission to consider the draft.
