(A) Application requirements. In order to begin the subdivision process, the applicant shall file an application for review of sketch plan and certificate with the Administrator and be entitled to a signed receipt for same. This application shall:
(1) Be made on forms available at the Town Offices and signed by the owner.
(2) Include indication of all contiguous holdings of the owner, including land in the same ownership with an indication of the portion which is proposed to be subdivided.
(3) Be presented to the Administrator in duplicate.
(4) Be accompanied by a minimum of three copies of the sketch plan.
(5) Be accompanied by an initial fee plus a fee for each lot in excess of four lots. This fee will vary according to the Plan Commission’s costs for their consulting engineer. The current amount will be found on the printed application form at the time of submission as well as by contacting the office of the Administrator.
(6) Include an address and telephone number of an agent located in Cloverdale, Putnam County or the Indianapolis Metropolitan area who shall be authorized to receive all notices required by this chapter.
(7) Include a listing signed by the checkpoint agencies indicating that they have received a copy of the proposed sketch plan or a certification that it has been sent.
(B) Checkpoint submission. In order to fulfill this last application requirement, a copy of the proposed plan shall be submitted to each of the agencies appropriate to the plan’s location so that their comments may be made to the Administrator. The checkpoint agencies are listed in Figure 3-01. The Administrator may request that all officials and agencies, to whom a request for review has been made, submit a written report to him within 15 days after receipt of the request. No response from an agency shall be interpreted as meaning “no objection”.
(C) Classification of subdivision. After an application for sketch plan approval has been submitted, and at the time of sketch plan review, the Administrator shall classify the proposed subdivision as either major or minor as defined in this chapter. The required procedures and approvals for major subdivisions are described in § 157.032; corresponding information concerning the minor subdivision approval process is provided in § 157.033.
