(a) Purpose and Intent. A preliminary stormwater plan is required by P&D to ensure that early site-planning for any new development accounts for compliance with this ordinance.

(b) Applicability.

1. In accordance with the applicability provisions described in Section 17.06-2 of this ordinance.

2. P&D shall on a case by case basis determine whether the preliminary stormwater plan requirement be waived based on the site plan submitted at the initial concept meeting. If it is determined that the requirement is waived, the applicant can directly apply for final stormwater plan approval as described in Section 17.07-3.

(c) Preliminary Stormwater Plan Application.

1. To request preliminary stormwater plan approval, the applicant shall submit a complete application to P&D, which shall include all of the following:

a. A completed and signed application on a form provided by P&D for that purpose;

b. A complete and signed Stormwater Management Plan Requirements Checklist (preliminary portion only);

c. A complete and signed Erosion Control Plan Requirements Checklist (preliminary portion only);

d. A complete Site Plan Map Requirements Checklist;

e. The application fee, unless exempted under Section 17.07-4;

f. Preliminary stormwater management plan in accordance with Section 17.09-6;

g. Preliminary erosion control plan in accordance with Section 17.15-4;

h. A site plan map in accordance with Section 17.09-5;

i. Plans in digital format if deemed necessary by P&D as described in Section 17.07-2(c)2.

2. P&D may require that existing site contours, existing site plans, proposed site contours, and proposed site plans be submitted in a digital .dwg format (AutoCAD, v. 2004 or later) including georeferencing map data to the public land survey system in accordance with county mapping standards.

3. Review procedures for a preliminary stormwater plan application shall be in accordance with Section 17.07-2(d).

Note: Copies of the preliminary stormwater plan documents as listed in Sec. 17.07-2(c) shall be provided to the appropriate Town Administrator upon submission to the County.

(d) Preliminary Stormwater Plan Review and Approval. Upon submittal of a complete application under Section 17.07-2(c), the owner is authorizing P&D to enter upon the subject site to obtain information needed to administer this ordinance and the following procedures shall apply:

1. If all preliminary requirements of this ordinance have been met through the application, P&D shall approve the preliminary stormwater plan and the applicant can apply for a final stormwater plan approval as described in Section 17.07-3(c).

2. If all preliminary requirements of this ordinance have not been met, P&D shall state in writing the reasons for disapproval. In an effort to save the Developer/Owner time and money, the preliminary stormwater plan process is used to verify that the site plan as provided will meet final stormwater requirements prior to the submission of comprehensive design plans. For most sites, P&D intends to review the preliminary plans only once. Any comments generated from the review should be incorporated into the final stormwater management plans.

3. If P&D determines that the application is not complete or requests additional information from the applicant or another source (such as another regulatory agency), P&D shall inform the applicant in writing or may disapprove the preliminary stormwater application.

Note: The Planning, Development & Extension Education Committee will not consider any action until preliminary stormwater plans are approved by P&D. [Code § 17.07-2.]
