Prior to undertaking any new land use activity (except for a one- or two-family dwelling or the other uses specifically excepted in §
127-3 of this chapter), a site plan approval by the Planning Board is required. Applicants for site plan approval may find it advantageous to follow the recommended procedures related to the presubmittal conference as hereinafter set forth. Applicants must comply with all other procedures and requirements of this chapter.
A presubmittal conference may be held between the Planning Board and
the applicant prior to the preparation and submission of a formal site plan.
The intent of such a conference is to enable the applicant to inform the Planning
Board of his proposal prior to the preparation of a detailed site plan and
for the Planning Board to review the basic site design concept, advise the
applicant as to potential problems and concerns and to generally determine
the information to be required on the site plan. In order to accomplish these
objectives, the applicant shall provide the following:
A. A statement and rough sketch showing the locations and
dimensions of principal and accessory structures, parking areas, access signs
(with descriptions), existing and proposed vegetation and other planned features;
anticipated changes in the existing topography and natural features and, where
applicable, measures and features to comply with flood hazard and flood insurance
regulations.
B. An area map showing the parcel under consideration for
site plan review and all properties, subdivisions, streets, rights-of-way,
easements and other pertinent features within 200 feet of the boundaries of
the parcel.
An application for site plan review shall be accompanied by the fee
as set, from time to time, by Village Board resolution.
The costs incurred by the Planning Board for consultation fees or other
expenses in connection with the review of a proposed site plan shall be charged
to the applicant. By submitting an application, the applicant agrees to pay
such expenses and, upon request, to furnish a cash deposit as security for
the payment thereof.
