§ 249-7. Sketch plan approval.

A. 

Submission of sketch plan. Any owner of land shall, prior to subdividing or resubdividing land, submit to the Chairman of the Planning Commission at least 10 days prior to the regular meeting of the Commission, two copies of a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision, which shall comply with the requirements of § 249-22 for the purposes of classification and preliminary discussion.

B. 

Discussion of requirements and classification.

(1) 

The subdivider, or his duly authorized representative, shall attend the meeting of the Planning Commission to discuss the requirements of these regulations for street improvements, drainage, sewerage, water supply, fire protection and similar aspects, as well as the availability of existing services and other pertinent information.

(2) 

A determination is to be made at this time by the Planning Commission as to whether the proposed subdivision is a minor or major subdivision as defined in these regulations. The Commission may require, however, when it deems it necessary for protection of the public health, safety and welfare, that a minor subdivision comply with some or all of the requirements specified for major subdivisions. If the sketch plan is classified as a minor subdivision, the subdivider shall then comply with the procedure outlined in § 249-8 of these regulations. If it is classified as a major subdivision, the subdivider shall then comply with the procedures in §§ 249-9, 249-10 and 249-11.
