§ 62-2807. Preapplication conference.

(a)

General: Before making application for construction plans and preliminary plat approval, the applicant and surveyor, engineer or land planner are required to discuss the preliminary studies and sketches for a subdivision with all reviewing agencies. This step does not require the filing of a plat. This step is to provide an opportunity for the applicant to avail himself of the advice and assistance of governmental agencies to facilitate the preparation and review of construction plans and final plats.

The pre-application conference schedule will be posted at the beginning of each year, and may be amended by the county as needed with proposed meetings on average once every two weeks. To have a project placed on the pre-application conference agenda, the information listed in subsections (b) and (c) must be submitted to the appropriate county department by close of business two weeks prior to the scheduled conference. Staff comments will then be presented to the applicant or their engineer prior to the conference.

The applicant will have six months from the date of the pre-application conference in which to submit final engineering plans and preliminary plat in order for the project design to be approved under the existing code of ordinances that were in effect as of the date of the pre-application conference. Any project submitted beyond six months after the pre-application conference will be required to schedule an additional pre-application conference and pay all appropriate fees.

(b)

Pre-application plans: The applicant shall provide two copies of a subdivision sketch plan, or one electronic copy of the plan, along with the required exhibits and information, to the county prior to the pre-application conference.

(c)

Required exhibits and information: The subdivision sketch and preliminary studies shall contain a location map showing the relationship of the proposed subdivision to existing and proposed facilities as indicated on the future land use map series of the comprehensive plan, and shall contain the general information including, but not limited to, the following:
