(A) The applicant shall schedule a pre- application meeting with the UDO Administrator to review a sketch plan of the proposed development, including minor and major subdivisions and minor and major site plans. The sketch plan shall meet the requirements of division (C) below. The UDO Administrator will advise the applicant of all applicable town regulations and policies, suggest development alternatives, application procedures and fees (see § 91.34). The pre-application meeting is a non-binding and informal review of a development proposal intended to provide information to the applicant on the procedures and policies of the town and does not confer upon the applicant any development rights. The UDO Administrator may submit a sketch plan to other departments or agencies for input and recommendations. Within 15 days of receipt of the sketch plan, the UDO Administrator shall forward all appropriate comments to the applicant. This timeframe may be extended if comments are requested from other agencies.
(B) The applicant is encouraged to incorporate the recommendations of the UDO Administrator or authorized staff reviewer into the development plan before submittal. The sketch plan is only a courtesy intended to inform the applicant of the approval criteria prior to submittal of the development plan; furthermore, sketch plan review does not constitute approval of the development plan and may not be substituted for any required approvals.
(C) Three copies of the sketch plan, drawn to scale, shall be submitted, including the following:
(1) A scale, preferably the same scale as required for development plan submittal;
(2) Property boundaries and total acreage;
(3) Major topographical and physical features such as creeks, buildings, streets and the like;
(4) Proposed streets, buildings and/or lot arrangements, including proposed lot sizes;
(5) Existing and proposed land use, drawn to scale, with brief project description including building sizes, unit sizes, lot sizes, open space, amenities and the like;
(6) Name, address and telephone number of applicant and persons (firm) preparing the development plan;
(7) Adjacent street names, numbers and right-of-way widths;
(8) Zoning district classification of site and surrounding properties, including those across streets; and
(9) The boundaries of any proposed phasing.
