A master plan showing the entire proposed subdivision and phases of develop- <br />ment, proposed density, proposed type and location of utilities, and proposed <br />development timetable shall be submitted to the Planning Board for approval. <br /> <br />B. Each phase of development shall be preceded by submission and approval of a <br />preliminary plat as outlined in Section 3.4. The master plan may be submitted <br />prior to or simultaneously to submission of the preliminary plat for the first <br />phase of development. <br /> <br />C. As each phase is completed, a final plat must be submitted and approved for <br />that phase as outlined in Section 3.5. <br /> <br />D.
