(A) If requested in the original application, a large development plan may be considered for approval for phased development.
(B) Phasing plans shall be included in the first submittal and shall be reviewed by the Development Review Committee and/or other Town staff and evaluated as part of the overall development plan.
(C) Each phase of a development shall be "stand alone" in regard to utilities, fire protection, streets, pedestrian connections, greenways, and stormwater management. Phase lines must follow reasonable and logical boundaries, such as terminating at intersections or following topographical breaks.
(D) For residential subdivisions, phases shall be created so that each phase consists of no less than twenty (20) lots. Exceptions to this twenty (20)-lot minimum may be considered if the following criteria are met, provided that phase also meets the "stand-alone" criteria of Section 8.1.2(C):
(1) a phase of twenty (20) lots is not practicable due to physical site conditions or the presence of existing development or infrastructure; or
(2) a model or sales home is planned, and the phase is the initial phase of the development.
(E) Phases shall be constructed in the approved manner to ensure orderly and planned development. Phases shall be planned to ensure the efficient construction of adjacent future phases (those phases immediately next to the subject phase, sharing a common boundary line), and to ensure that phased development is contiguous.
(F) Lot numbers shall not be duplicated within different phases of the same subdivision.
(G) Each proposed phase must, at a minimum, include the transportation, utility, and other public/private infrastructure shown on the proposed phasing plans, such that each phase is independent of subsequent phases.
(H) All dedications for public infrastructure servicing the respective phase must be recorded with the first plat for a subdivision or prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for a phased plan that does not require subdivision.
(I) Water and sewer extension permit applications for each individual phase of the project are required prior to development plan approval for that phase.
