The preapplication conference is provided as an informal session
to provide information prior to the preparation of formal application
documentation and shall be optional at the discretion of Jefferson
Township. Where representatives of the Township have determined that
a preapplication conference is necessary, the following procedure
shall be followed:
A.
Prospective applicants shall arrange a preapplication conference
with the Township Planning Commission to determine the practical and
legal feasibility of the proposed project prior to the development
of formal preliminary plan preparation. An appointment shall be made
at least seven days prior to the Commission's regular meeting
date. No fee shall be required for said conference.
B.
Applicants shall present all information and data, as required by
this Part, for review and discussion with the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission shall indicate the general suitability of
the proposed plan for refinement into preliminary plans.

safety and welfare. Land shall not be recommended for subdivision
until such hazards are properly addressed. Land subject to flooding,
slides due to soil type or slope or excavation, excessive erosion,
improper drainage, mine subsidence problems, or land unsuited for
on-site sewage disposal shall be deemed hazardous and shall require
a specific demonstration of measures to remove the identified hazard
producing condition.
