(1) Prior to the submission of the preliminary plat, the subdivider or his representative shall request a preapplication conference with the administrator and the engineer and other agencies to discuss the sketch plan. The purpose of this conference is to identify as many potential concerns as possible in order for the preliminary plat to be processed without unnecessary delay.

(2) Discussion topics at this time may include such things as: comprehensive plan, zoning, street plan, availability of sewer and water, development concepts, soils, topography, other county permits, the environmental impact of the subdivision, and the future development of adjacent property. If, after the preapplication conference, the applicant desires to proceed with an application for preliminary subdivision approval, the information gained from the conference will be useful in designing the preliminary plat and in preparing any accompanying documents.

(3) Participation in a preapplication conference and conclusions reached at the conference will in no way guarantee preliminary approval, or prohibit identification and discussion of additional concerns during the subdivision review process. (Ord. 484, 2006)
