§ 5-04. Development plans.

Five (5) blue or black line prints of the plans and specifications for the development of all required physical improvements to be installed shall be prepared by a certified professional engineer or certified land surveyor and shall be submitted as "development plans" to the director for approval or disapproval. If approved, one (1) copy bearing certification of such approval shall be returned to the subdivider. If disapproved, all papers shall be returned.

If rezoning is required under section 4-01.6, evidence of approval shall be submitted. The plans shall show details for the construction of all improvements required by this ordinance and shall show existing conditions. Details for sewers, water lines, streets, grading of lots with corner elevations, drainage plans, and all other essential details shall be shown as defined in section 10-01.

5-04.1. Review of plans. The director or his authorized representative shall discuss the development plans with the subdivider in order to determine whether or not his development plans generally conform to the requirements of the [this] subdivision ordinance and of the zoning ordinance [Appendix A]. The subdivider shall then be advised in writing concerning any additional data that may be required, and the character and extent of public improvements that have to be made. An estimate of the cost of construction will be required as a prerequisite to approval of the final subdivision plat. Such an estimate shall be filed with the director by the developer upon submission of the final plat.

5-04.2. No guarantee. Approval of the development plans by the director does not constitute a guarantee of approval of the final plat.

(2)
