A. Review Stages. Major plan review shall consist of four stages: pre-application, master plan, preliminary
plan and final plan. Also required is a public informational meeting (master plan
stage), and a public hearing (preliminary plan stage). The Planning Board may vote
to combine review stages and to modify and/or waive certain submission requirements.
Review stages may be combined only after the Planning Board determines that all necessary
requirements (material, fees, notice, etc.) for all stages so combined have been met
by the applicant.
B. Pre-Application Procedures. The procedures and criteria for pre-application meetings and concept review, as described
in Section 302 these Regulations, shall apply. At the conclusion of the pre-application
stage, the applicant may proceed to the master plan stage of review.
C. Technical Review Committee. At each stage of the project review, the Technical Review Committee, if one has been
appointed, shall review the application and shall comment and make recommendations
to the Planning Board.
D. Inaction by Planning Board. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period specified at any stage of
the application shall constitute approval of the plan at that stage, in which case
a certificate from the Administrative Officer as to the failure of the Planning Board
to act within the required time period, and the resulting approval, shall be issued
on request of the applicant.
