[Amended 11-21-1972]
The preliminary layout and the supporting documents for a proposed
subdivision constitute the material to be officially submitted to
the Town Planning Board. They shall show the general design of the
subdivision and its public improvements so that the Planning Board
can indicate its approval or disapproval of the subdivision prior
to the time that the final plat, including the design and detailing
of the public improvements and utilities, is completed. After the
statutory public hearing and approval by the Planning Board, this
complete submission becomes the basis for the preparation of the final
plat. Approval of the preliminary layout does not constitute an approval
of the final plat, nor should it be considered a valid basis for the
construction of site improvements or for other commitments which depend
upon its design characteristics.
[Amended 11-21-1972; 11-24-1981; 8-23-1983; 9-10-1985; 1-10-1989; 7-9-1991; 2-22-1999; 6-2-2015; 12-11-2018; 11-17-2022 by Res. No. 2022-1075; 2-6-2024 by Res. No. 2024-163]
The filing fee shall be $2,000 plus $1,100 for each lot or dwelling
unit as shown on the preliminary map of a residential subdivision
and $2,000 per acre for industrial zoned lands.
[Amended 9-10-1985; 1-10-1989; 7-9-1991; 2-22-1999; 6-2-2015; 12-11-2018]
Planning Board approval of a preliminary layout submission shall
expire six months after the date of such formal action. No Planning
Board action will be taken after such expiration until a new application
and filing fee are submitted. If a request for an extension of preliminary
approval is submitted before the six-month period, a fee of $500 shall
be submitted. A waiver for a reasonable period of time may be given
in cases of hardship, upon petition to the Planning Board.
