7.3 SKETCH PLAT OF MAJOR SUBDIVISION

A.sketch plat in accordance with section 7.11(a) of all major subdivisions may be submitted for preliminary discussion before the preliminary plat is prepared. This step is recommended by the planning board. As its name indicates, the sketch plat is designed to enable the planning board and the developer to discuss principles involved before the developer has gone to the expense of completing detailed engineering drawings as required for preliminary and final plats. The planning board will act on said sketch plat and, if satisfactory, give sketch plat approval. This approval will not be binding and will be subject to change, but will enable the developer to proceed on a reasonable, sound basis.
