Developers are encouraged to request an informal review of a concept plan for a development for which the developer intends to prepare and submit an application for development to the Board so that the Board may be informed of the applicant's intentions, classify the proposed site plan as major or minor, and so that the applicant may obtain the advice of the Board and other Township officials in the early stages of the design in order to avoid undue expense and delay in preparing more detailed plans and specifications. If a concept plan is submitted, for applications under the jurisdiction of the Planning Board, prior to review by the full Board, the Secretary shall refer the concept plan and any supporting documents to the Development Review Committee for its review and recommendation. Such Committee shall not be governed by any statutory time limits in its review of site plans. The developer shall not be bound by any concept plan for which informal review is requested, and the Board shall not be bound by any such review. The request for concept plan review shall be accompanied by any applicable fees in accordance with Chapter
171.
Before granting minor or preliminary or final
site plan approval, the Board shall determine that the plan is consistent
with all of the requirements of this chapter and the Township Code.
