Pre-Application Procedures

The applicant should avail himself or herself of the advice and assistance of the Village's administrative officers, including its retained planning and engineering consultants (as applicable), and should consult early and informally with those officers and consultants before preparing a concept plan or any plat in order to save time and money, and to avoid potential unnecessary delays. 

Prior to formal application for approval of any concept plan or plat, the applicant shall request and attend a mandatory pre-application conference with the appropriate Village official(s) in order to become familiar with the Village's development regulations and the subdivision process. At the pre-application conference, the applicant may be represented by his or her land planner, engineer and/or surveyor. No development right (if any) shall vest upon participation in any pre-application conferences. 

Official Submission Date and Completeness of Application for All Types of Plats

The "official submission date" is the date upon which a complete application for approval of any type of plat, that contains all required elements mandated by the Texas Local Government Code, Section 212.004(b) and by the Subdivision Ordinance, is submitted to the Village Administrator, after which the statutory period required for approval or disapproval of the plat shall commence to run. No application shall be deemed officially submitted until the Village Administrator determines that the application is complete and a fee receipt is issued by the Village. 

Plat applications which do not include all required information and materials, as outlined in the Subdivision Ordinance, will not be accepted for official submission by the Village, and will not be scheduled on an agenda until the proper information is provided to Village officials including the Village's retained planning and engineering consultants, if applicable. 

Submission Materials

The application shall include the application, along with the appropriate submission fee, the appropriate number of full-size folded (24" x 36") prints of the plat and an electronic copy of the plat in PDF format as required by the Village's current development review policies and requirements, a copy of any applicable development agreement pertaining to the subject property (if any), and any other applicable information and materials deemed appropriate by the Village.
