§ 88-8. Preapplication data sheet.

A. 

Prior to the submission of a formal application, the applicant may submit a preapplication data sheet (on a form to be supplied by the town) with preapplication sketch to the Planning Board. The purpose of this form is to allow the subdivider to outline the general nature of his proposal for subdivision so that he can be advised of the proper method of application, the general acceptability of his concept, the consistency (or inconsistency) of his proposal with the Master Plan of the Town or any special consideration which he should make in the development of his final subdivision plat (e.g., accommodating any special soil considerations, handling potential flooding problems, developing open space areas, etc.).

B. 

Within 30 days of the receipt of a preapplication, the Planning Board shall meet to review and discuss the proposed subdivision. The Planning Board shall formally notify the subdivider, diving at least five days' advance notice, of the meeting date at which his proposal will be reviewed and either the subdivider or his agent shall be present to participate in the review.

C. 

Within 30 days after the preapplication review meeting, the Planning Board shall determine whether the preapplication sketch plan meets the purposes of this chapter and shall, where it deems necessary, make specific recommendations in writing to be incorporated by the applicant in the next submission to the Planning Board.
