Pre-Application Meeting

Purpose and Intent

The Planning Department coordinates and facilitates a regularly scheduled Pre-Application Meeting affording potential applicants the opportunity to receive feedback on conceptual development proposals prior to final design and formal application submission. Town participants in the Pre-Application Meeting include:

• Development Review & Zoning
  
• Comprehensive Planning
  
• Natural Resources
  
• Engineering
  
• Building & Fire Codes
  
• Bureau of Fire Prevention

While there are no specific submission requirements, the nature and detail of staff comments will be based on the information provided by the applicant. The purpose of the Pre-Application Meeting is to provide the applicant with comments, suggestions and/or concerns from those Town departments that will ultimately be reviewing the potential development proposal in its final design. There should be mutual benefit to both the Town and the applicant from participation in this strictly voluntary process.

Procedure
