A. 
The procedure for reviewing a preliminary plan for a major subdivision shall be the same as the procedure for reviewing a final plan for a minor subdivision (§ 185-14A through G, inclusive). Insert the term "preliminary plan" for "final plan."
B. 
When granting approval to a preliminary plan, the Board shall state the conditions of such approval, if any, with respect to:
(1) 
The specific changes that it will require in the final plan;
(2) 
The character and extent of the required improvements for which waivers may have been requested and that, in the Board's opinion, may be waived without jeopardy to the public health, safety, and general welfare; and
(3) 
The amount and type of all performance guarantees that it will require as prerequisite to the approval of the final plan.
C. 
Approval of a preliminary plan shall not constitute approval of the final plan or intent to approve the final plan; rather, it shall be deemed an expression of approval of the design of the preliminary plan as a guide to the preparation of the final plan. The final plan shall be submitted for approval of the Board upon fulfillment of the requirements of this chapter and the conditions of preliminary approval, if any. Prior to the approval of the final plan, as a result of the further study of a subdivision or as a result of additional information received, the Board may require additional changes or other conditions that it deems necessary. The final plan shall satisfy all of the approval criteria for subdivision approval set forth in this chapter and in 30-A M.R.S.A. § 4404.
A. 
Location map. The preliminary plan shall be accompanied by a location map adequately showing the relationship of the proposed subdivision to the adjacent properties. This will enable the Board to locate the subdivision within the municipality. The location map shall show:
(1) 
Locations and names of existing and proposed streets;
(2) 
Boundaries and designations of any zoning districts;
(3) 
An outline of the proposed subdivision showing the owner's/applicant's entire contiguous holdings.
B. 
Preliminary plan. The preliminary plan shall consist of the plans and accompanying information as required in the submissions for a minor subdivision (§ 185-15), except that two reproducible, stable-based, transparent originals are not required.
C. 
Accompanying information. The application for approval of a preliminary plan shall include the following information:
(1) 
The information required to be submitted for a minor subdivision (§ 185-15A through Y, inclusive).
(2) 
The number of acres within the proposed subdivision; the location of property lines, existing buildings, and watercourses; the vegetative cover type; and other essential existing physical features.
(3) 
The location and size of existing and proposed sewers, water mains, culverts, and drainageways on or adjacent to the property to be subdivided.
(4) 
The location, names, and present widths of existing and proposed streets, highways, easements, building lines, parks, and other open spaces on or adjacent to the subdivision.
