Only a single-family dwelling that is not a part of a subdivision
of land shall be exempt from the submission of an erosion and sediment
control plan. (For details of a soil erosion and sediment control
plan, see Article

The Commission may require a cash performance
bond to be posted for any or all erosion and sediment control and

as a condition of approval of a modified site plan, to ensure that
the modifications of a site plan are met. Should a bond be required,
it shall comply with the bonding regulations of Article
XXXI.
Unless otherwise directed by the Commission,
when a site plan is approved, the applicant, within 90 days, shall
file a copy of the plan, signed and dated by the Chairman or Secretary
of the Commission on Mylar (or other dimensionally stable material)
with the Town Clerk, and the use(s) shown therein is not authorized
until three additional paper copies of the signed and filed plan have
been deposited with the Zoning Enforcement Officer. Any site plan

through congestion or reduction of street capacity.
