A.
All applicants are encouraged to submit a sketch plan for any proposed
subdivision and/or land development.
B.
The submittal of a sketch plan is very strongly encouraged because
it can save applicant's substantial expense. If a sketch plan
is submitted, it can often identify important issues early in the
process, before an applicant has completed expensive detailed engineering.
As a result, it can often allow an applicant to avoid the time and
expense involved in redesigning a project after submittal of a preliminary
plan. Before submitting a sketch plan, applicants are strongly encouraged
to ask for an informal meeting with the Township staff to discuss
major issues. Submission of a sketch plan shall not constitute official
submission of a plan to the Township.
