Standards for Review
Schematic Plan Review
- The proposed subdivision conforms to the town general plan, zoning regulations, public works standards, design standards (chapter 12 of this title) and other relevant sections of this title.
- The proposed water source is connected to the town’s water distribution system and has adequate supply, capacity and method of distribution within the subdivision.
- The proposed sewage system is connected to the town’s sewer system and meets state and town standards and regulations.
- The proposed method for fire protection complies with this title, and other regulations as applicable.
- The proposed uses for the property are appropriate to the zone district and the layout/design is responsive to the constraints of topography, soil types, geologic hazards, watercourses and floodplains, visual impacts and preservation of views.
- Adequate public services are available to meet the needs of the proposed subdivision, including roads, water, sewer, storm water, gas, electric, telecommunications, trails, transit, snow storage areas, mail, police and fire protection, schools and recreation. If adequate services do not exist at the time of application, provision must be made for expansion of services concurrent to the subdivision development at the expense of the subdivider.
