Orin MISTRESS Preliminary Plat Review Checklist Chairperson Tourville updated the Planning and Zoning Commission on the recommendations of John Stewart, City Engineer, in a letter dated September 27, 1990 regarding Preliminary Flat Checklist. The letter addresses the concern of the Planning and Zoning Commission that some of the requirements in the previously submitted Preliminary Plat Review Checklist could cause the developer to incur major expenses in the earlier stages of a proposed development. Mr. Stewart has separated the Preliminary Plat Review Checklist, into what he felt would be the most logical. This letter is on file with the Clerk /Administrator. It appeared to be the consensus of the Planning and Zoning Commission that a Preliminary Plat Review Checklist would be helpful for developers to realise what the requirements and expectations would be of a preliminary plat. Liaison Pelton expressed concern on sketch plans being not dimensioned. She feels that this makes it difficult for the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission to analyse. She feels it is very important to have a sketch plan that is to scale. Chairperson Tourville noted that Ordinance #8, Article 4, Section 42, SKETCH PLAN, is an advisory meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission to see if the idea may be feasible. In his opinion this step is to save money for developers ar,d the City. Committee member Welk noted that some of the items on the forms duplicated each other. The forms should not duplicate each other, since all items would be necessary for preliminary plat approval, but at different stages using the checklists. Chairperson Tourville questioned if the wording of Ordinance #8 would need to be amended. The Preliminary Plat Review Checklist is only a breakdown of the requirements of Ordinance #8, Article 4 - PLAT SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURE. Motion by Vermeulen, second by Welk that the Preliminary Plat Review Checklist be broken down into three (3) stages; all duplications of requirements in the three (3) stages be deleted; P &Z Meeting Minutes February 6, 1991 page two a notation shall be added that the previous steps must be completed before preliminary plat approval, motion carried unanimously.
