A. Property lines, existing and proposed, together with acreage of all
lots, including any easements and dedication;
B. General topographic and drainage information, both existing and proposed;
C. Existing natural and man-made features, including streams, drainage
improvements, wetlands, floodplains, slopes over 15% grade, and existing
buildings and structures;
D. All existing and proposed elements of vehicular and pedestrian circulation,
including but not limited to roadways, parking areas, loading areas,
walkways, bike paths, and parking garages;
E. Delineation of the various use areas in the proposed PDD indicating
for each area its general extent, size and composition in terms of
use and total number of buildings; for residential districts, approximate
percentage allocation by residential type; for mixed-use, commercial
and industrial districts, approximate percentage allocation by use;
F. Proposed location, type and size of landscaping, buffer areas and
other aesthetic features;
G. Proposed public utilities, including type and method of water supply,
sewage and stormwater management;
H. Location map showing uses and ownership of adjacent lands; and
I. Proposed location, type and size of signs, driveways and emergency
zones.
An application for establishment of a PDD shall be made in writing
to the Board of Trustees and shall be accompanied by the applicable
fee. The application shall also be accompanied by a full environmental
assessment form or draft environmental impact statement as required
by SEQR, or other documentation establishing that the proposed PDD
is a Type II action pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617. The Board of Trustees
shall refer the application to the Planning Board after determining
that the application is complete for purposes of review. A complete
application shall include the information specified above. In addition
to the items listed above the Village Board of Trustees, at its discretion,
may require additional information prior to making a determination
of application completeness.
