the proposed subdivision and development data, for the purpose of
preliminary discussion.
The sketch plan shall be either on a topographical
survey map or on an enlargement of the most recent United States Geological
Survey quadrangle sheet enlarged to a scale of one inch to 200 feet
and shall show contours at not more than ten-foot intervals and the
following:
A. The subdivision name or title and the name of the
town and county in which it is located and the scale, North point
and date.
B. The name and address of the owner, subdivider and
advisor.
C. The subdivision boundaries and approximate boundaries
of all contiguous properties and the names of their owners.
D. All existing restrictions on the use of land, including
easements and covenants.
E. The location of that part which is to be subdivided,
in relation to the entire tract, and the distance to the nearest existing
street intersection.
F. All existing structures, wooded areas, streams and
other significant physical features, within the part to be subdivided
and within 200 feet of any boundary line.
G. All the utilities available and all streets which
are either proposed, mapped or built.
H. The proposed pattern of lots (including lot width
and depth), the street layout, recreation areas, systems of drainage,
sewerage and water supply within the subdivided area.
Supporting development data shall comprise information
concerning:
A. The land characteristics of the site.
B. The availability of existing and proposed utilities,
schools, parks and playgrounds.
C. The total acreage of the subdivision and the number
of lots proposed.
D. The typical width and depth of lots.
E. The building types, approximate size and cost.
The owner shall attend a Planning Board meeting
to discuss the requirements of these Subdivision Regulations. Planning
Board shall study the sketch plan to determine whether or not it conforms
to or would be in conflict with any Master Plan, the developments
proposed by any public agency, the existing private and public development,
facilities and services and the purposes of these regulations, including
reservations of land street improvements, drainage, sewerage, water
supply, fire protection and availability of services and any special
problems that may, be encountered.
The Planning Board shall determine whether the
sketch plan meets the purposes of these regulations and shall, where
it deems it necessary, make specific recommendations, in writing,
to be incorporated by the owner in the next submission to the Planning
Board.
