Applicants for preliminary approval shall be
encouraged to submit, for review by the Planning Board, sketch site
plans for informal discussions and recommendations. Said sketch site
plans shall be used as a basis for changes and redesign and to avoid
undue expense and delay in preparing more detailed plans and specifications.
The Planning Board shall not be governed by any statutory time limits
in its review of sketch site plans, and it is expressly understood
that compliance with the Planning Board recommendations shall not
bind the Planning Board in subsequent deliberations.
The Planning Board may, when exercising its powers pursuant to this chapter, grant variances as provided in §
163-5.
