or development in the Town would apply for a permit to the Building
Department. If said development or project requires a site plan review,
the Building Department will forward an information package indicating
the steps to follow. The information package would contain a list
of concerns and requirements including a blank illustration of a site
plan with explanation that if enough information is forwarded and
the concerns are addressed at the first Planning Board meeting, a
determination of "minor site plan review" could be made and the process
ends there.

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.
