The intent of the site plan review process is to preserve and
enhance the character of a neighborhood, achieve compatibility with
adjacent development, mitigate potentially negative impacts on traffic,
parking, drainage and similar environmental concerns, improve the
overall visual and aesthetic quality of the Village, and increase
the capability of the Zoning Law to adapt to a variety of unique circumstances.
Applicants are encouraged to schedule a pre-application conference
prior to submitting a site plan review application in order to receive
a conceptual review by the Code Enforcement Officer and/or the Planning
Board. The purpose of the pre-application conference is to provide
the applicant with the opportunity to seek nonbinding, advisory direction
from the Village in order to better prepare the applicant and project
application for the site plan review process. Materials presented
during the pre-application conference may be incomplete and/or conceptual
in design; however, site plan review materials submitted as part of
the formal application are still subject to the requirements of this
article.
