An individual seeking to divide land within the <br />subdivision jurisdiction of Cass County shall provide a sketch plan to the County Planner <br />in order to verify the process and application requirements needed for plat review. It is <br />recommended that a meeting be scheduled with the County Planner to discuss the <br />review process and proposed plans. Such a meeting and/or review shall be considered <br />confidential between the applicant and county staff. However, any documents <br />submitted to the County relative or resulting from this meeting are subject to North <br />Dakota Open Records Laws pursuant to NDCC §44-04. <br /> It is recommended that the applicant submit at least the information noted in Section <br />6.01 (b). Materials submitted, provided or discussed by the applicant for or during the <br />pre-application review shall not satisfy any portion of the materials needed to complete a <br />subdivision application. Any advice or assistance provided by county staff shall not be <br />considered the County’s final response.
