Prior to submitting a sketch plan, applicants for larger developments
are encouraged to informally discuss their proposals with the Zoning
Administrator and/or appropriate Town staff.
Prior to submission of a preliminary plan, applicants are very
strongly encouraged to submit a sketch plan. A sketch plan review
often allows an applicant to save substantial time and engineering
costs, because many concerns about layout and issues concerning Town
ordinances can be resolved prior to performing detailed engineering.
This can often reduce the need for future redesign at a more detailed
stage, thereby saving the applicant significant money and time. When
submitted, sketch plans shall include the following information:
A.
Submission requirement. If submitted, 18 print copies of the sketch
plan and the accompanying application should be submitted to the Town
staff at least seven days prior to a regular Planning Commission meeting.
B.
Drawing requirements. A sketch plan shall be drafted to approximate
scale and is recommended to include the following, as applicable:
(1)
Approximate boundary line of development.
(2)
Approximate locations of significant physical features (such as areas
of steep slopes, quarries, creeks and major drainage channels).
(3)
Proposed lot and street layout with approximate areas of lots (such
as "two acres").
(5)

(may be the developer's name).
(6)

known) and statement of the general proposed types of any nonresidential

(7)

nearby streets (may be a photocopy of USGS or Town base map or commercial

(from Federal Insurance Administration map).
(9)
Tentative approximate locations of any stormwater detention basins
and any major stormwater drainage channels.

boundaries in the area.
