When a developer intends to develop a parcel of land within the unincorporated area of Washington County, a Concept Plat must first be submitted to the Planning Administrator or the Chairman of the Plat Review Committee for review applicable to the planning requirements. This conference may be of assistance to the developer through the prevention of unnecessary expense in the plat preparation.

Proposed storm drainage, on-site and off-site, to an existing major channel.

(6)

Existing watercourses and floodplains, if any.

(7)

Existing adjoining or abutting streets, roads and developments.

(8)

Existing water and sanitary sewer systems.

(9)

Any additional information the developer considers pertinent.

(c)

While in concept form, the developer or engineer may consult with the Administrative Officer or the Chairman of the Plat Review Committee to get acquainted with the planning requirements. During this conference, the general features of the land development, its layout, facilities and required improvements, including off-site improvements, shall be determined to the extent possible and necessary for preparation of the Preliminary Plat.

(d)

A Plat Review Committee meeting may be scheduled within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of the Concept Plat submission.
