Design review applications shall be made and processed as follows:
(A) The applicant may request a preapplication review by the commission. The purpose of the preapplication review shall be for the commission to consider conceptually the location of the proposed activity, access and any other element of the proposal in concept as requested by the applicant. In the event an applicant does not desire a preapplication review, the applicant is required to submit an application for a Mountain Overlay Site Alteration Permit from the Planning and Zoning commission prior to proceeding with any activity or development of property within the Mountain Overlay District.
(B) The fee for the application and permit shall be established by resolution of the Council and shall be paid at the time preapplication review is requested, or at the time of application if no preapplication review is requested and shall be nonrefundable.
(C) Information to be submitted with the application shall include, but not be limited to, a legal survey of the property, topography of sufficient detail to represent slope of land, cuts and fills required and similar features; elevations of proposed building pads and public streets providing access, private access drives; preliminary utility extension plans, drainage plans and driveway plans; and description of proposed drilling or blasting, if any. On site information may be required prior to any on site visit to the subject property by the commission. Such information may include stakes marking boundaries of buildings, centerlines of access drives or other elements of the proposal, and/or story poles illustrating proposed heights of structures and also may include recent photographs evidencing impact(s) of the proposed development from various vantage points.
(D) On site review by the members of the commission may be requested and if so, shall occur prior to taking action on said application review. Extreme weather conditions or inordinate depth of snow may cause the commission to delay said on site review not more than 180 days.
