A preliminary plat shall be filed within 90 days of the sketch plan review meeting per §
400-17. Failure to submit a preliminary plat within 90 days of the sketch plan review meeting will require the applicant to recomplete the requirements of Article

for a one-year period from the date of approval, that the general
terms and conditions under which the preliminary approval was granted
will not be changed. The subdivider must then comply with final approval
requirements. Construction of the improvements required for final

other requirements set out in this chapter or other Town ordinances.
Proper permits shall be obtained and provided to the Town prior to
performing any work on site.

A. Such design and construction drawings shall be subject to the review
and approval of the Town Engineer, or third-party engineer selected
by the Town. The Town Council may, in its discretion, require the
subdivider to make appropriate changes in the drawings before construction
commences.
