A pre-submittal meeting is offered for developers and design professionals and provides a preliminary review by staff of concept, site development, storm water, water, sewer, life safety, building plans and final plats. This meeting helps the design professional and developer to understand the plan review and permitting process and may identify issues up front that have the potential to delay the permitting process.
