Preapplication conference

Before submitting an application subject to the provisions of this chapter, an applicant may meet with the administrative officer and/or zoning enforcement officer to discuss the proposed project and to establish what documents and information the applicant must submit.

A preapplication conference is intended to allow the administrative officer and/or planning board and/or zoning board of review to:

• • (a) Acquaint the applicant with the comprehensive plan and any specific plans that apply to the parcel, as well as the zoning and other ordinances that affect the proposed development;

  • (b) Suggest improvements to the proposed design on the basis of a review of the sketch plan;

  • (c) Advise the applicant to consult appropriate authorities on the character and placement of public utility services; and

  • (d) Help the applicant to understand the steps to be taken to receive approval.

The applicable contents of the site plan will depend on the scope and complexity of the proposed project. The administrative officer will indicate the applicable contents on an application checklist.
