A. 
Review by Village Engineer and Plan Commission.
(1) 
Immediately upon the filing of 11 copies of the preliminary plat, the Village Administrative Clerk shall retain one copy for his file (on which copy is to be indicated Plan Commission and/or Board action on the plat) and shall distribute the remaining copies of the plat as follows: two copies to the Plat Officer, two copies to the Village Engineer, three copies to the Plan Commission, and where the proposed plat is outside the Village limits but within the area of subdivision jurisdiction, three copies to the Director of the Macon County Regional Planning Commission.
[Amended 6-7-2021 by Ord. No. 764]
(2) 
The Village Engineer, Plat Officer and, where concerned, the Director of the Macon County Regional Planning Commission shall review the plat and application materials to assure the proposed subdivision complies with applicable regulations and requirements, and report upon such to the Plan Commission. The Plat Officer shall confer with the Zoning Officer and include in his report that the proposed subdivision complies with Chapter 980, Zoning. The Plat Officer shall also report upon conditions of the site or adjacent properties which, while not evident in the application materials, may affect development upon the site.
B. 
Review by Plan Commission. The Plan Commission shall review the preliminary plat and application materials to assure compliance with the Village plan and Official Map of the Village. Particular note shall be made that any planned major streets of the community falling in the area of the subdivision being reviewed are accommodated in the proposed plat; they also shall review the reports of the Plat Officer and Village Engineer with regard to the proposed subdivision. Within 45 days of the subdivider's filing for preliminary approval, the Plan Commission shall make known to the Village Board, Village Administrative Clerk and, where concerned, the Director of the Macon County Regional Planning Commission that the preliminary plat has been approved, approved subject to modifications or disapproved. If disapproved, the Plan Commission shall submit to the subdivider, with copies to the Village Administrative Clerk and, where concerned, the Director of the Macon County Regional Planning Commission, a statement setting forth reasons for disapproval, indicating particularly the aspects in which the proposed plat fails to conform to the Official Map and other ordinance requirements. Failure of the Plan Commission to act within 45 days of filing shall be deemed approval of the plat, unless, however, an extension of time is mutually agreed upon by the subdivider and Plan Commission. The Plan Commission shall maintain one copy of the preliminary plat in its files with the Plan Commission action noted upon it.
C. 
Approval or rejection by Board. If the preliminary plat is approved by the Plan Commission, the Village Board shall approve or reject the plat within 30 days after the first regular Board meeting following the action of the Plan Commission; provided, however, that any action not concurring with the Plan Commission's action shall require a 2/3 vote of the entire Board membership.
D. 
Action on preliminary plat to be filed with Village Administrative Clerk. A certified copy of the order or resolution approving the preliminary plat or disapproving the preliminary plat and stating the reasons therefor shall be attached to a copy of the preliminary plat by the Village Administrative Clerk and filed in the office of the Village Administrative Clerk.
Approval of the preliminary plat by the Board does not constitute approval of the subdivision, but is merely an authorization to the subdivider to proceed with the preparation of the record plat and construction of required facilities and utilities.
Approval of the preliminary plat shall be effective for 12 months; except, however, the Plan Commission, upon written request of the subdivider and advice of the Plat Officer, may grant an extension of time. If the record plat is not filed with the Village Administrative Clerk within 12 months or an authorized extension thereof, the Board approval of the preliminary plat, all previous approvals of the preliminary plat shall become null and void.
