[Ord. No. 508 §1, 11-4-2002]
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of the sketch plat is to provide the subdivider an opportunity to consult early and informally with the Planning and Zoning Commission before preparation of a preliminary and/or record plat and before submission of a formal application to the Commission. The intent of this procedure is to assist the subdivider in preparing a plat which will meet the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, the requirements of the Commission and of other public agencies, as well as to identify the improvements and uses of the subdivision and other potential problems involved in the proposed subdivision. The provisions for a sketch plat are intended to decrease costs for the developer and to eliminate inadequate design elements in the early stages of the subdivision development process.

C. 
Review Procedures.
1. 
Administrative action. Prior to filing a proposed preliminary plat with the Commission, the Administrative Official, City Engineer, other City departments and other agencies, if any, shall review the preliminary plat with regard to requirements described in these regulations for completeness.
a. 
If the preliminary plat is found to be complete by the Administrative Official, he shall thereupon affix a notation of the date and his signature on the plat and a statement denoting satisfactory compliance with the information requirements of these regulations and other applicable regulations of the City.
b. 
If the preliminary plat is found to be satisfactory by the City Engineer, he shall thereupon affix a notation of the date and his signature on the plat and a statement denoting satisfactory compliance with the design requirements of these regulations and other applicable regulations of the City.
c. 
If the preliminary plat is found to be unsatisfactory by the City Engineer, he shall give notice to the Administrative Official, in writing, setting forth the conditions of non-compliance.
d. 
If the preliminary plat is found to be incomplete by the Administrative Official or other City department or to be unsatisfactory by the City Engineer, the preliminary plat will be returned to the applicant. Only a proposal that contains all required information shall be considered a complete preliminary plat and meets City design standards as determined by the City Engineer shall be forwarded to the Commission.
e. 
Whenever a preliminary plat includes a proposed establishment of common land and the City Engineer finds that such land is not suitable for common land due to terrain, benefit to a small portion of the lot owners, difficulty of maintenance or any similar reason, the City Engineer's approval may be denied.
f. 
The Administrative Official shall submit his/her written report, including the City Engineer's review, to the Commission at their next regularly scheduled meeting following completion of the Administrative Official's determination that a preliminary plat is complete. City departments and other agencies shall also submit their written reports to the Administrative Official for inclusion in the Administrative Official's report to the Commission.
2. 
Commission action. Within sixty days (60) of receipt of a complete preliminary plat and the recommendations and comments contained in the Administrative Official's report, the City departmental reports and any other agency reports, the Commission shall take action upon the proposed preliminary plat and notify the subdivider in writing of its action. Commission action shall take one (1) of the following forms:
a. 
Approval. The Commission may approve the preliminary plat as submitted. Approval shall be valid for one (1) year and the Commission may grant extensions of approval if the developer has applied in writing for such an extension and the Commission determines a longer period should be granted due to unusual circumstances. If an extension is not granted, the preliminary plat approval is null and void. If no record plat of a subdivision for which preliminary approval has been given is approved within said one (1) year period or such longer period as the Commission may allow, a resubmission and review by the Commission may be required upon determination by the Commission. After approval of the preliminary plat, the developer may proceed with the detailed site improvement plans required for all streets, facilities and utilities to be provided and may submit the proposed record plat to the Board of Aldermen for approval in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter. In the case of subdivisions being developed by phases, extensions of approval shall be automatic for all phases included in the preliminary plat so long as construction is in progress in any section.
b. 
Conditional approval. The Commission may approve the preliminary plat conditionally and require amendments to the plat before granting full approval. If the subdivider does not submit an acceptable amended plat within sixty days (60) of the Commission's decision, the plat shall be deemed to be disapproved by the Commission.
c. 
Postponement. The Commission may postpone its decision pending further study of the plat, but in no event shall its decision be postponed more than sixty (60) days after the date of submission of the proposed preliminary plat to the Commission without the written consent of the applicant.
d. 
Disapproval. The Commission may disapprove a preliminary plat and shall state in writing its reasons for disapproval. The subdivider must then submit a new preliminary plat if he/she wishes to create the subdivision.
3. 
Effect of preliminary plat approval. Approval of the preliminary plat by the Commission does not constitute final acceptance of the proposed subdivision. Preliminary plat approval shall confer upon the developer, for a period of one (1) year from date of approval, the conditional right that the Commission will not change the general terms and conditions under which the approval was granted. The developer is authorized to proceed with the preparation of the record plat and submit it to the Commission and to prepare and submit the required site improvement plans for construction of the required public facilities and utilities for the subdivision. The Commission may extend this one (1) year period if the developer has applied in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior the expiration date of the preliminary plat, for such an extension and the Commission determines an extension should be granted due to documented and unusual circumstances. If the Commission does not grant an extension, the preliminary plat approval is null and void as of its original expiration date.
4. 
Period of validity. The final approval of the preliminary plat granted by the Commission shall lapse unless a record plat for the entire subject property or an approved phase of the property (if the property is to be developed in sections) is not submitted to the Commission within one (1) year of the date of approval of the preliminary plat. If no record plat is approved within said one (1) year period or such extended period as the Commission may allow, a resubmission and review by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be required.
[Ord. No. 508 §1, 11-4-2002]
Following approval of the preliminary plat and prior to the developer preparing site improvement plans or commencing any work on the site, the developer shall agree to and sign a development agreement with the City. The development agreement shall provide a written record of the developer's commitment to comply with City ordinances, City development standards and such other conditions and performance issues as the City determines necessary. An approved development agreement is required prior to the City Engineer approving the site improvement plans, unless waived by the Board of Aldermen upon recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Until subdivided, such omitted tract is developable lot on which no more than one (1) residence may be constructed; or unless the development is a planned development, in which case the omitted property is not developable and does not constitute a lot of record for any purpose under the Zoning Code or until included in a record plat.
