Following action by the Commission to recommend approval of the preliminary plat, or upon appeal by the developer of the disapproval of the preliminary plat, the Commission shall forward the preliminary plat application and the Commission's recommendations for approval of the plat to the Board of Trustees for action.
B. 
In deciding whether to approve the preliminary plat application, the Board of Trustees shall proceed according to the following format:

The Board of Trustees shall consider whether the application, including any modifications or changes as required by the Commission, complies with all the applicable regulations and requirements of this Chapter. If the Board of Trustees determines that the application fails to comply with one (1) or more requirements of this Chapter, then the preliminary plat application shall be denied. Insofar as is practical, the motion shall include the reasons for denial.
3. 
Subject to Subsection (C), the Board of Trustees may attach such reasonable requirements in addition to those specified in this Chapter as will ensure that the development:

Will not endanger the public health or safety.

If the Board of Trustees concludes that the preliminary plat application meets the applicable requirements of this Chapter, it shall approve the preliminary plat. Any additional conditions or requirements determined by the Board of Trustees in approving the preliminary plat shall be noted on three (3) copies of the plat and in the records of the Board. One (1) copy of the plat shall be retained by the Board of Trustees, one (1) copy shall be forwarded to the Commission and one (1) copy shall be returned to the applicant.
E. 
Approval of the preliminary plat by the Board of Trustees constitutes approval of the subdivision as to the character and intensity of development, the arrangement and approximate dimensions of streets, lots and other planned features, and authorizes the applicant to proceed to prepare reports and construction plans for public improvements necessary to obtain a compliance permit and the final plat. Approval of the preliminary plat shall not authorize the sale of lots or construction of any public or private improvements.
