Based upon sketch plat approval by the Planning Commission the applicant should file an application for approval of a preliminary plat. The application shall be made on a form available from Bear River City or the Zoning Administrator and contain the following elements:
(a) Surrounding Owners. Include all land which the applicant proposes to subdivide and all land immediately adjacent extending one thousand (1000) feet therefrom, or of that directly opposite thereto, extending one thousand (1000) feet from the street frontage of such opposite land, with the names and addresses of the owners as shown on the County Assessor's tax files, together with a stamped, addressed envelope for each such owner. The mailing address information may be shown on a separate current tax map reproduction from the Assessor's Office showing the subdivision imposed thereon.
The requirement to provide names and addresses of owners within 1000 feet together with a stamped, addressed envelope for each such owner is waived if the subdivision meets the criteria for a minor subdivision.
(b) Utility Coordination. Design and installation of public utilities shall be under the direction of a professional engineer. The developer bears the cost of meeting this requirement.
(c) Copies. Be accompanied by a minimum of nine (9) copies of the preliminary plat as described in these regulations.
