[Amended 1-4-2022]
Any applicant requesting approval of a proposed Administrative
Subdivision, as defined in these Regulations, shall submit to the
Administrative Officer the items and plans set forth in Appendix A,
Instructions and Checklist for Administrative Subdivisions.
Editor's Note: Appendix A - Instructions and Checklist for Administrative
Subdivisions may be found as an attachment to Code Appendix C.
Any proposed Administrative Subdivision shall meet the design
and construction requirements as set forth in Appendix D, Subdivision
Design Standards.
The application shall be certified as complete or incomplete
by the Administrative Officer within a fifteen (15) day period from
the date of its submission according to the provisions of § 7.2
of these Regulations. In the event such certification of the application
is not made within the time specified, the application shall be deemed
complete for purposes of commencing the review period.
Within fifteen (15) days of certification of completeness, the
Administrative Officer shall review the application and approve, deny
or refer it to the Planning Board with recommendations. The Administrative
Officer shall report his or her actions to the Planning Board at its
next regular meeting, to be made part of the record.
a. No Action. If no action is taken by the Administrative Officer within
the fifteen (15) days, the application shall be deemed to be referred
to the Planning Board and placed on the agenda of the next regular
Planning Board meeting.
b. Denial. Denial of an application by the Administrative Officer shall
not be appealable and shall require the plan to be submitted as a
Minor Subdivision application.
If referred to the Planning Board, either by the Administrative
Officer or by default, the Board shall consider the application and
the recommendations of the Administrative Officer, if any, and shall
either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application within
sixty-five (65) days of certification of completeness. Denial of an
Administrative
Subdivision by the Planning Board shall be an appealable action.
Approval of an Administrative Subdivision shall expire ninety
(90) days from the date of approval unless within such period a plat
in conformity with such approval is submitted for signature and recording
as specified in § 8.8 of these Regulations.
Failure of either the Administrative Officer or the Planning
Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute approval
of the Administrative Subdivision plan and a certificate of the Administrative
Officer as to the failure of the Planning Board or Administrative
Officer to act within the required time and the resulting approval
shall be issued on request of the applicant.
