After receipt of the project plan and recommendations from the Planning Commission, the Township Board shall consider the project plan at its next meeting, or within 20 days from the date of receipt from the Planning Commission. The Township Board shall act upon the project plan within 90 days filing with the Township Clerk.
(A) The Township Board shall consider the project plan along with the recommendations of the Planning Commission. If the plan meets the project plan requirements of this chapter, the Board shall grant Step I project plan approval. The Township Clerk shall sign the plan with the notation that it has received Step I approval and the applicant shall be so notified. Step I approval shall give the applicant the following rights for a one-year period from the date of approval:
(1) The general terms and conditions under which Step I approval was granted will not be changed by the township;
(2) The site condominium units, orientation and street layout have been approved; and
(3) The Step I approval may be extended for not more than one year if applied for by the applicant prior to the one-year expiration date and granted by the Township Board in writing.
(B) If the project plan substantially meets the requirements of this chapter, the Township Board may grant tentative approval of Step I. This approval shall be conditioned upon the submission of such changes, revisions or additional material as is determined to be necessary to complete Step I. Upon the submission of such changes, revisions or additional material to the Township Board, the project plan shall be granted unconditional Step I approval and the applicant shall be so notified. The initial one-year period set forth in division (A) above begins on the date the Township Board grants tentative approval hereunder.
(C) If the project plan does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the Township Board shall deny Step I approval and shall notify the applicant along with the reasons for denial.
(D) If the information required for Step II approval as contained in § 152.025 of this chapter is submitted during Step I review, the Township Board may grant Step II approval if all such requirements are met.
