(A) Contents. The subdivider may submit to the Planning Board, at least 15 days prior to a regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board, 10 copies of a sketch plan of a proposed subdivision for review and initial feedback by the Planning Board. This is an optional step in the subdivision review process and a subdivider may choose to skip this step and proceed directly to submission of a preliminary plat as outlined in § 153.16. The sketch plan shall contain the following information:
(1) A sketch map of the vicinity of the proposed subdivision showing its location in relation to neighboring tracts, subdivisions, roads and waterways;
(2) The boundaries of the entire tract in common ownership and the portion of the tract to be subdivided;
(3) The total acreage to be subdivided;
(4) The existing and proposed uses of the land within the subdivision and the existing uses of land adjoining it;
(5) The proposed street layout with approximate pavement and right-of-way width, lot layout and size of lots;
(6) The name, address, and telephone numbers of the owner and, if applicable, a written and acknowledged statement of the owner designating the subdivider or other person to act as his or her agent for the submission of plats;
(7) The name, if any, of the proposed division;
(8) Streets and lots of adjacent developed or platted properties; and
(9) If applicable, the zoning classification of the tract and of adjacent properties.
(B) Review. The Planning Board shall review the sketch plan for general compliance with the requirements of this chapter and other applicable policies and shall advise the subdivider of the policies applicable to the proposed subdivision and the procedures to be followed in the preparation and submission of the preliminary and final plats. One copy of the sketch plan shall be retained for the files of the Planning Board.
