The Planning Board shall adopt rules of procedure which shall
govern the conduct of and proceedings of the Technical Review Committee.
The Technical Review Committee shall have authority to accept
or reject applications and to approve or disapprove applications for
minor site plan approval, provided that the decision of the Committee
may be appealed to the full Planning Board, pursuant to Chapter 674:43,

Review Committee in approving minor plans and of administrative officials
in issuing permits shall be stayed by any appeal taken and authorized
under this section, pending the final action of the Planning Board
on the appeal in the form of its written notice of action.
The Planning Board shall adopt provisions within Chapter A242,
Site Plan Review, specifying application acceptance and approval procedures
and defining what size and kind of site plans may be reviewed by the

complaints and provisions herein to determine successful achievement
of the goals stated within these regulations and to further determine
any problem areas and necessary corrections.[1]
