§ 38-47. Preliminary plat approval.

To prevent undue hardship on the subdivider through possible required plat revisions, preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision at a scale not smaller than 100 feet to the inch shall first be submitted to the board in duplicate and shall give the following information:

(1)

The subdivision name, the names and addresses of the owners and of the designer of the plat, who shall be a competent land surveyor.

(2)

Date, approximate north point, and a graphic scale.

(3)

The location of existing and platted property lines, street, buildings, watercourses, railroads, sewers, bridges, culverts, drainpipes, water mains, and any public utility easements, both on the land subdivided and on the adjoining land.

(4)

The names of adjacent subdivisions and the names and addresses of record owners of adjoining parcels of land as they appear on the current tax records.

(5)

The names, locations, widths, and other dimensions of proposed streets, alleys easements, marks, and other open spaces, reservations, lot lines, and building lines.

(6)

Statement of proposed street improvements, including contour map where terrain might affect the location of streets; and profiles of all street showing natural and finished grades drawn to scale of not less than one inch equals 100 feet horizontal and one inch equals 20 feet vertical when required by the board.

(7)

Preliminary sketch plans or proposed utility layouts (sewer, water and electricity) showing feasible connections, where possible, to existing utility systems.

(b)

Upon receipt of this preliminary plat, the clerk shall transmit said plat to the parish health unit, and any other interested city or parish department for review and recommendation in relation to specific service problems. The approval of the preliminary plat shall not be deemed final acceptance but rather an expression of approval of the layout as submitted on the preliminary plat.

(c)

Such approval shall not be noted on the preliminary plat.

(d)

One copy of the preliminary plat shall be retained in the files of the board.
