B. In deciding whether to approve the preliminary plat application, the Board of Trustees shall proceed according to the following format:

1. The Board of Trustees shall consider whether the application is complete. If no member moves that the application be found incomplete, then it shall be taken as an affirmative finding that the application is complete.
2. The Board of Trustees shall consider whether the application, including any modifications or changes as required by the Commission, complies with all the applicable regulations and requirements of this Chapter. If the Board of Trustees determines that the application fails to comply with one (1) or more requirements of this Chapter, then the preliminary plat application shall be denied. Insofar as is practical, the motion shall include the reasons for denial.
3. Subject to Subsection (C), the Board of Trustees may attach such reasonable requirements in addition to those specified in this Chapter as will ensure that the development:

d. Will be in conformity with the Master Plan, Major Street Plan or other plan officially adopted by the Board of Trustees.

C. The Board of Trustees may not attach additional requirements or conditions to the preliminary plat that modify or alter the specific requirements of this Chapter unless the subdivision in question presents extraordinary or unique circumstances that justify variation from the specified requirements.
D. If the Board of Trustees concludes that the preliminary plat application meets the applicable requirements of this Chapter, it shall approve the preliminary plat. Any additional conditions or requirements determined by the Board of Trustees in approving the preliminary plat shall be noted on three (3) copies of the plat and in the records of the Board. One (1) copy of the plat shall be retained by the Board of Trustees, one (1) copy shall be forwarded to the Commission and one (1) copy shall be returned to the applicant.

Approval of the preliminary plat shall not authorize the sale of lots or construction of any public or private improvements.

However, the final plat is an acceptance of dedications if the preliminary plat is approved by ordinance, subject to final plat approval by the Commission.
