The owner shall, prior to subdividing or resubdividing land, submit to the Planning Director at least 15 days prior to the regular meeting of the Planning Board two copies of a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision and development data, for the purpose of preliminary discussion.
The sketch plan shall be either on a topographical survey map or on an enlargement of the most recent United States Geological Survey quadrangle sheet enlarged to a scale of one inch to 200 feet and showing contours at not more than ten-foot intervals and the following:
A. 
The subdivision name or title and the name of the Town and county in which it is located and the scale, North point and date.
B. 
The name and address of the owner, subdivider and professional advisor.
C. 
The subdivision boundaries and approximate boundaries of all contiguous properties and the names of their owners.
D. 
All existing restrictions on the use of land, including easements, covenants and zoning lines.
E. 
The location of that part which is to be subdivided, in relation to the entire tract, and the distance to the nearest existing street intersection.
F. 
All existing structures, wooded areas, streams and other significant physical features, within the part to be subdivided and within 200 feet.
G. 
All the utilities available and all streets which are either proposed, mapped or built.
H. 
The proposed pattern of lots (including lot width and depth), the street layout, recreation areas, systems of drainage, sewerage and water supply within the subdivided area.
Supporting development data shall comprise information concerning:
A. 
The land characteristics of the site.
B. 
The availability of existing and proposed utilities, schools, parks and playgrounds.
C. 
The total acreage of the subdivision and the number of lots proposed.
D. 
The typical width and depth of lots.
E. 
The building types, approximate size and cost.
The owner shall attend a Planning Board meeting to discuss the requirements of these Subdivision Regulations. The Planning Board shall study the sketch plan to determine whether or not it conforms to or would be in conflict with the Zoning Ordinance, the Master Plan, the developments proposed by any public agency, the existing private and public development, facilities and services and the purposes of these regulations, including reservations of land, street improvements, drainage, sewerage, water supply, fire protection and availability of services, and any special problems that may be encountered.[1]
