Plans submitted for consideration by the Board shall be complete
in all respects, that is, show all required information and be accompanied
by all required forms, documents, fees and supporting materials. In
case of a plan believed not to require approval this means a completely
filled application form, the original tracing showing all needed data
for the Board's determination and the required number of copies.
In the case of preliminary and definitive subdivision plans this means
all required forms completely filled out, plans showing all required
information, locus or vicinity and detailed drawings, ownership data,
abutters' names, plan copies, and for definitive plans also the required
calculations. In all instances a copy of the application shall be
submitted to the Town Clerk to notify him of plan being submitted
to the Planning Board. Failure to submit or provide any required item
shall be deemed to be a failure to submit the plan, and any time limits
for action on a plan shall not commence until the submission is complete
in all respects.
A complete plan may be submitted by delivery at a Planning Board meeting or by mailing it to the Planning Board c/o the Town Clerk by certified or registered mail. If mailed the date of the mailing shall be the date of submittal. If the submission is incomplete in any respect, the Board shall promptly notify the applicant and the Town Clerk in writing that the plan shall not be deemed to have been submitted and that the time within which the Board must act shall not commence until the missing items have been added, or delivered as specified in § 540-17 above.
Within two weeks after the receipt of the application for approval
of a preliminary subdivision plan and again at least two weeks prior
to the public hearing required by the Subdivision Control Law,[1] the center line of the proposed street(s) shall be clearly
marked on the ground at fifty-foot intervals with colored flags or
stakes. The Planning Board shall be informed when the flagging has
been done.
