(2) The approval of a preliminary plat indicates that the subdivider may proceed toward fulfilling the necessary steps for approval of the final plat in accordance with the terms of approval. It is expected that the applicant will work towards meeting all conditions of approval. Prior to final plat approval the applicant must have complied with all conditions. The preliminary plat is valid for 12 months following Council approval. (3) No plat will be approved for a subdivision which covers an area subject o periodic flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage facilities and which would make adequate drainage of the streets and lot impossible.
