(A) A preapplication/sketch plan review is required of all proposed land use and subdivisions. This review is not binding on any party. It is to be held between town representatives, such as the Town Manager, Planner and the like, and the subdivider and/or his or her authorized agent. The purpose of this review is to clarify the regulations as they apply to the particular parcel and proposed subdivision. It helps to avoid misunderstandings and substantial investment in surveys and drafting for a concept that may or may not be accepted as proposed.
(B) The sketch may be informal (freehand), but drawn to an approximate scale. Sketch plans shall conform to the following requirements:
(1) A minimum of two copies of a sketch design plan shall be submitted.
(2) No specific size requirements apply to sketch design plans, but it is suggested that the requirements applicable to preliminary and final plats be utilized.
(3) No administrative fees are charged in connection with the submission of sketch design plans.
(4) The sketch design plan shall depict or contain the following information:
(a) A sketch vicinity map showing the location of the subdivision in relation to neighboring tracts, subdivisions, roads and waterways;
(b) The boundaries of the tract and the portion of the tract to be subdivided;
(c) The total acreage to be subdivided;
(d) The existing and proposed uses of land within the subdivision and adjoining it;
(e) The proposed street layout;
(f) The name, address and telephone number of the owner;
(g) Streets and lots of adjacent developed or platted properties; and
(h) The zoning classification of the tract and of adjacent properties.
(5) The review team shall review the sketch design plan for general compliance with the requirements of this chapter and Chapter 155, and the review team shall advise the subdivider or his authorized agent of the regulations pertaining to the proposed subdivision and the procedures to be followed in the preparation and submission of requirements for the determined minor subdivision, major subdivision or exception proposal. Minor subdivisions, as defined in the regulations, will proceed to the final plat review. Major subdivisions will proceed to the preliminary plat review. This review shall in no way be construed as constituting an official action of approval for recording of the subdivision by the town, as required by this chapter.
(6) One copy shall be retained as a part of the files of the Town Planning Department, with the other copy being returned to the subdivider or his or her authorized agent.
