(a) 
The sketch or concept plan shall be considered a general layout of the proposed subdivision. The plan shall contain enough information to allow the Board to review it and offer comments and concerns relating to the general nature of the project and its impact on the community.
(b) 
During the review the Board will determine whether the subdivision shall be either:
(1) 
A major subdivision.
(2) 
A minor subdivision.
(c) 
Clustered development. If a clustered subdivision is proposed, or if the Planning Board requests that a clustered plan be submitted in order to achieve the purpose of this chapter, then two sketch plans shall be submitted:
(1) 
One plan shall reflect the standards of the zoning district in which the subdivision is proposed. On this plan, each lot shall meet minimum lot size as determined utilizing Article VI, Section 44, of the Zoning Ordinance, and dimensional requirements found in Article V, Section 6, Table B, of the Zoning Ordinance.
(2) 
The second plan shall utilize a clustered layout as permitted under Article VI, Section 16, of the Zoning Ordinance. The number of lots in the clustered development shall not exceed the number of lots proposed on the nonclustered plan. Proposed open space and reductions in lot size or dimensional requirements shall be clearly delineated on the clustered sketch plan.
[Ord. of 6-20-1995; Ord. No. 2006.13, 3-7-2006]
Major subdivisions are: those projects that propose to develop any type of additional roadways, whether public or private; or extend public water or sewer lines; where five or more lots are proposed; or are considered planned unit developments.
