Section 405 - Procedure for Administrative Subdivision Approval
   A.   Submittals
Any applicant requesting approval of a proposed administrative subdivision, as defined in these Rules and Regulations, shall submit to the Administrative Officer the items required by the Administration Subdivision Checklist at Appendix A.
   B.   Certificate of Completeness
The application shall be certified as complete or incomplete by the Administrative Officer within a fifteen (15) day period from the date of its submission according to the provisions of Section 403.
   C.   Review Process
   1.   Within the timeframe prescribed by R.I.G.L. 45-23-37, the Administrative Officer shall review the application and approve, deny or refer it to the Planning Board with recommendations. The Administrative Officer shall report his/her actions to the Planning Board at its next regular meeting, to be made part of the record.
   2.   If no action is taken by the Administrative Officer within the timeframe prescribed by R.I.G.L. 45-23-37, the application shall be placed on the agenda of the next regular Planning Board meeting.
   3.   If referred to the Planning Board, the Board shall consider the application and the recommendations of the Administrative Officer and shall either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application within the timeframe prescribed by R.I.G.L. 45-23-37. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute approval of the administrative subdivision plan and a certificate of the Administrative Officer as to the failure of the Planning Board to act within the required time and the resulting approval shall be issued on request of the applicant.
   4.   Denial of an application by the Administrative Officer is not appealable and requires the plan to be submitted as a minor subdivision application.
   5.   Any approval of an administrative subdivision shall be evidenced by a written decision which shall be filed and posted in the office of the town clerk.
   6.   Approval of an administrative subdivision expires subject to the timeframe prescribed by R.I.G.L. 45-23-37 unless within that period a plat in conformity with that approval is submitted for signature and recorded as specified in Section 905.
