Subdivision applications shall be received for official processing by the City no later than the 30th day before the regular monthly meeting of the Planning Board. The applicant shall file sufficient copies of all required exhibits as set forth under the appropriate review for subdivisions together with an application form and proof that all taxes are current and all applicable fees with the Secretary of the Planning Board. The time for the Board's review shall not begin to run until the submission of a complete application with the entire fee. A checklist indicating required information and data to be supplied by an applicant for a subdivision application shall be supplied to the applicant along with the application, the receipt of which checklist the applicant will acknowledge in writing. The checklist shall contain the requirements as set forth in Articles VIII, IX, XI and XII of this chapter, as appropriate to the type of application. It shall also contain the warning that all of its requirements must be met within the time period prescribed by law or the application will not be complete. Unless the applicant is informed by the Secretary within 45 days of the official receipt of the application that the application is incomplete, and is notified of what requirements of the checklist have not been complied with, the application shall be deemed complete as of the date it was received, hereinafter known as "filing date." The applicant may request that one or more of the submission requirements be waived, in which event the Planning Board shall grant or deny the request within 45 days of its receipt.
A. 
The Secretary to the Planning Board shall forward, upon receipt of a subdivision application in proper form with requisite fees, one copy each of the application to the Zoning Official and City Engineer for their preliminary determination of completeness and classification of an application. One copy shall go to the County Planning Board for its review and comments. Both the Zoning Official and the Engineer shall report back to the Secretary within 14 days from receipt of the application whether the application is complete or noting items omitted or ordinances violated.
B. 
If the application is deemed by the City Engineer and the Zoning Official to be complete, the Secretary shall distribute copies as stipulated within this section to the Subdivision Committee for the appropriate subdivision review. Final determination of application completeness shall be made by the Planning Board during the respective review stage. The Planning Board may also designate other local or higher governmental agencies to receive copies of any application for review and recommendation beyond those agencies stipulated in this section. If the application is found to be incomplete or in violation of any applicable codes and ordinances, the applicant shall be notified by certified mail as to the items omitted or ordinances violated.
