[Amended 11-3-1994; 8-7-1997]
A. Prior to investing in extensive professional design
efforts for subdivision plans, it will often prove useful to review
the proposed development of a parcel of land with the Planning Board,
in order that general approaches and potential problems can be freely
explored. Pencil sketches, which need not be professionally prepared,
will assist the discussion and might show some but not all of the
information shown on a preliminary plan. The Board will not discuss
a particular parcel of land without written consent of the landowner(s).
B. Pre-application consultations between the applicant
and the staff of the Town is recommended. The following rules apply
for pre-application consultations:
(1) All correspondence must be sent through the Planning
Board office or a copy shall be provided to the Planning Board.
(2) The Town staff will review applications in an attempt
to avoid unnecessary deficiencies in the application and promote efficiency
in the formal review and hearing process. Staff may also be requested
to review an application for its thoroughness and completeness; however,
staff will not be responsible for assuring the accuracy, completeness
or thoroughness of any application submitted for review. It is the
responsibility of the applicant to assure that the application to
be submitted to the Board for its review is thorough, complete and
accurate.
