Preapplication Review (optional)

 

There are two methods of preapplication  review available to the property owner or agent.  Both approaches shall not bind either the applicant or the Board and statements made by the Planning Board members shall not be the basis for disqualifying said members or invalidating any action taken.  No decisions are reached and no vote is taken.  Preapplication review is covered under RSA 676:4.

 

 

(a) Preliminary Consultation  Procedure for Subdivision

 

A Preliminary Consultation  provides an opportunity for the property owner or agent to discuss with the Board, in very general terms, the uses that may be suitable for a piece of property.   A Preliminary Consultation helps to identify potential problems early in the process thereby saving time and/or unnecessary and expensive redesign at a later date.  The Preliminary Consultation is an informal meeting and must take place at a public meeting of the Planning Board, but notification of abutters  and the general public is not required.   Because the discussion is informal, no plans or specific details are presented.

 

In preparation for a preliminary consultation  prepare a sketch  of the area drawn from the tax map and identify the approximate dimensions and sizes of the proposed lots , layout  of proposed streets , and any facilities or utilities .   Be prepared to discuss the existing conditions on the site.

 

 

(b) Design Review  Procedure

 

The Design Review  phase provides the property owner or agent the opportunity to engage in non-binding discussions with the board beyond conceptual and general discussion which involve more specific design  and engineering  details.  This phase of preapplication  review requires ten (10) day notice to abutters  and the general public and must take place at a public meeting of the planning board.

 

 

To request either a preliminary consultation  or a design  review notify, the Planning Board Chairman of the date of the public hearing  you would like to attend.  A time will be given for the preapplication  review based upon the scheduling for that night.
