§ 20-54. Preapplication.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    It is recommended that, prior to the filing of an application for the approval of a preliminary plat, or certified survey map, the subdivider consults with the town clerk-treasurer and all affected utilities in order to obtain advice and assistance. This consultation is neither formal nor mandatory, but is intended to inform the subdivider of the purpose and objectives of these regulations, the adopted regional, county or town comprehensive plans or adopted plan components, and duly adopted plan implementation ordinances of the town and to otherwise assist the subdivider in planning his development. In so doing, both the subdivider and planning agency may reach mutual conclusions regarding the general program and objectives of the proposed development and its possible effects on the neighborhood and town and the subdivider will gain a better understanding of the subsequent required procedures.

    (b)

    Prior to formal submittal of a preliminary plat as outlined below, the subdivider shall submit a preliminary sketch or concept plan for review by the plan commission. The purpose of such a sketch is to gain tentative approval from the plan commission prior to expending time and resources on a preliminary plat. This review by the plan commission is not binding on either the town or the subdivider.

    (c)

    The subdivider must submit copies in an amount, manner, form and timeline as set forth in the applicable procedure to the town clerk-treasurer at least 21 days before the meeting at which action is desired.
