§ 16.12.020. Submission of preliminary plan of subdivision for approval.

A.

The subdivider shall prepare a preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision conforming with the requirements set forth in Chapter 16.24. At least thirty (30) days prior to a regularly scheduled meeting of the planning commission, the plat along with five black line or similar prints of the plat shall be filed with the planning commission; however, if a state road is involved, three additional prints shall be provided.

B.

The preliminary plat will be checked as to its conformity with the comprehensive plans, the town zoning ordinance, and other applicable provisions, and the principles, standards and requirements hereinafter set forth. Copies will be referred to any other county or state officials who may be concerned with public improvements or health requirements.

C.

At its regular meeting the planning commission shall approve or disapprove the preliminary plat, or may approve it subject to specific changes or modifications. Reasons for disapproval will be noted on the plat or by letter. No plat shall be approved that is in conflict with these subdivision regulations, and zoning ordinance or with any part of an officially adopted feature of the town comprehensive development plan.

D.

Preliminary plats, once approved, shall remain valid for a period of three years. The preliminary plat approval shall become void at the end of three years unless an extension of the approval is requested by the applicant and granted by the planning commission. Extensions will be granted for one year increments.
