Prior to submission of a site plan, the applicant or a representative
may request a meeting with the Board. The Planning Board has the option
of scheduling a requested presubmission conference. If the Planning
Board schedules a presubmission conference, the applicant shall pay
a fee as listed in the schedule of fees.[1] The purpose of the conference shall be to discuss proposed uses or development in order to determine which of the site plan elements in Article V shall be submitted to the Board to determine conformity with the provisions and intent of this chapter. The Board may rely on advice from Village staff or consultants. All comments by Village staff should be in written memorandum form and accompany the site plan.

the Village offices.
Within six months following the presubmission conference, the
site plan and any related information shall be submitted to the Secretary
of the Planning Board in 12 copies, at least 30 days prior to the
Planning Board meeting at which approval is requested. Where outside
agency approvals are necessary, additional copies may be required.
If not submitted within the six-month period, the Planning Board may
require another presubmission conference.
The Code Enforcement Officer shall indicate on each site plan or amendment whether or not the plan meets the requirements of all zoning local law provisions and shall determine whether the submitted materials meet the requirements of this chapter, Chapter 280, Zoning, or other applicable requirements.
The Code Enforcement Officer shall retain one copy and transmit
the balance of copies of the site plan to the Secretary of the Planning
Board at least 15 days prior to the Planning Board meeting at which
approval is requested.

The Planning Board shall act to approve or disapprove any such
complete site plan application within 62 days after the close of the
public hearing. An application shall be deemed to be complete only
after all material required under this chapter is submitted, all material
required under the provisions of other local laws is submitted, and
the requirements of the New York State Environmental Quality Review
Act (SEQRA)[1] are met. Prior to the public hearing, owners of property within 300 feet of the outbounds of the subject property shall be notified by the applicant by certified mail, return receipt requested (see Article VI). Failure to act within said period of time shall not be deemed approval. Disapproval shall include written findings upon any site plan element found contrary to the provisions or intent of this chapter. In reviewing the application, the Planning Board may secure the advice or assistance of one or more expert consultants as qualified to advise whether a proposed use will conform to the requirements of this chapter. The assistance of a consultant or consultants, if sought, must be obtained promptly after receipt of the application. Such consultant shall report within 30 days after receipt of such request unless the Planning Board allows a greater period of time. A copy of the report of such consultants shall be furnished to the applicant. The fee for the services of such consultant shall be borne by the applicant in the form of a cash deposit to the Village.

No. 5-1999]
The Village Board of Trustees shall have the authority to designate,
by resolution, a time frame for the Planning Board regarding actions
taken pursuant to special use permits.
Substantial amendments to an approved site plan shall be considered
new applications for site plan approval and shall be acted upon accordingly.
The Code Enforcement Officer is empowered to require a site plan to
be resubmitted to the Planning Board during construction if the proposed
changes are deemed to be substantial. The Planning Board may, in its
discretion, treat such resubmissions as not substantial if in its
opinion it so finds. On the other hand, the Planning Board, on notice
to applicants, may determine that proposed changes to an approved
site are substantial and require that a new application be submitted.
The modified items shall not be constructed until a revised site plan
has been approved by the Planning Board. The Planning Board may require
a public hearing, at its discretion, even for nonsubstantial amendments.
[Amended 6-21-1999 by L.L. No. 5-1999]
The fee for site plan review shall be in accordance with the
standard schedule of fees of the Village of Monticello as the same
may be adopted from time to time by the Village Board of the Village
of Monticello or by resolution.[1]
