§ 126-166. Procedures.

(a)

The application for preliminary approval of a subdivision plat shall be considered by the commission in a public meeting. The developer or his engineer shall be present.

(b)

The commission shall determine whether the proposal conforms to city and other applicable regulations and may approve or disapprove the application and the accompanying preliminary development plan or require such changes therein or impose such conditions of approval as are in its judgment necessary to ensure conformity to such regulations. If positive or negative action is not taken within 30 days after filing, the application and preliminary development plan shall be deemed approved, unless the time has been extended by the developer.

(c)

Preliminary approval does not constitute acceptance of the plat by the city, but is merely authority to proceed with preparation of the final plat. It shall be unlawful for any work to be done on the ground until the preliminary plat and plan has been approved, except basic site clearing may commence at the developer's risk.
