The purpose of the preliminary site plan is for the applicant to become familiar with the site plan requirements and for the Planning Board to become familiar with the proposal and note any concerns before the formal application is submitted. The preliminary site plan and the final site plan shall be submitted to the Planning Board at least 10 days prior to the regular Planning Board meeting.
[Amended 4-10-2002 by L.L. No. 3-2002; at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]

Within six months of the Planning Board's decision on the preliminary site plan, the applicant shall submit four copies of the final site plan showing the required modifications to the Planning Board for approval. The Planning Board shall either approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the final site plan, stating the reasons therefor in writing in its records and shall send a written notice of its decision to the Code Enforcement Officer, who shall then act accordingly, either issuing a zoning permit, postponing issuing such permit pending compliance with the decision of the Planning Board or denying such permit. The decision of the Board shall immediately be filed in the office of the Village Clerk and a copy mailed to the applicant.
(5) 
The Planning Board shall make a decision on the final site plan application within 62 days after the application is received. This time may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant and the Planning Board or, if a public hearing is desired, the decision shall be made within 62 days after such hearing.
