A. 

Preliminary site plan.

(1) 

Preliminary site plans shall be clearly identified as being preliminary.

(2) 

Approvals of preliminary site plans shall include a description of what is being approved.

(3) 

Within five business days of the adoption of the resolution granting approval or disapproval of a preliminary site plan, it shall be certified by the Secretary of the Planning Board as having been granted or denied preliminary approval, and a copy of such resolution shall be filed in the office of the Town Clerk. A copy of the resolution approving or disapproving the site plan shall be included in the Planning Board's minutes and a copy mailed to the applicant.

(4) 

Conditional preliminary approval. After receiving conditional approval from the Planning Board on a preliminary site plan, the applicant may prepare his final detailed site plan and submit it to the Planning Board for approval.

(5) 

If more than six months has elapsed between the time of the Planning Board's decision on the preliminary site plan and submission of the final site plan, and if the Planning Board finds that field conditions and/or applicable regulations have changed significantly in the interim, the Planning Board may require a resubmission of the preliminary site plan for further review and possible revision prior to accepting the proposed final site plan for review.

B. 

Final site plan.

(1) 

The Planning Board shall, by resolution, approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove a final site plan. Resolutions for conditional final site plan approval shall include such requirements which, when completed, will authorize signing of said site plan by such persons as specified therein.

(3) 

Approval of a final site plan by a resolution of the Planning Board shall expire within 180 days after the date of the resolution granting approval if said final site plan has not been submitted in final form for signature. The Planning Board may extend the time in which an approved plan in final form must be submitted for signature if, in its opinion, such extension is warranted by the particular circumstances thereof, but for no longer than two additional periods of 90 days each.

(4) 

Upon completion of such conditions as may be stated in the resolution granting approval, and after signatures of all other persons specified in said resolution, the Chairperson of the Planning Board shall sign the site plan.
