A. The Engineer shall check the preliminary plat with respect to the requirements in these regulations and the recommendations and suggestions received from the City Council and others. Any requirements not fulfilled, any modifications deemed necessary, any improvements that should be installed with specifications therefor and other findings shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission, and findings and recommendations thereon reported to the City Council.

B. Action by the Planning Commission shall be tentative approval of the preliminary plat, conditioned upon certain modifications being made, and shall be recorded on three or four copies of the plat and sheets of data or attached to them. One such copy shall be retained by the Planning Commission, one copy transmitted to the City Council and one shall be held for the subdivider, and he shall be mailed notification to this effect at his last known address within five days after such action.

C. In its action, the Planning Commission shall recommend which method, as provided in § 220-26, shall be employed to secure satisfactory performance of the installation of required improvements by the subdivider.

D. The Planning Commission, subject to City Council determination, shall take into consideration the prospective character of development of the area included in the plat and shall require that it be harmonious with that existing and planned in the general vicinity.

E. Failure of the Planning Commission to act within 60 days after filing, unless an extension of time is arranged with the consent of the subdivider, shall be deemed neither rejection nor approval of the preliminary plat. In such cases the City Clerk/Treasurer, with the recommendations of the City Engineer, shall inform the subdivider of the proper procedure for his guidance in completing the survey of the subdivision and making the final plat thereof.
