established from time to time by resolution by the Town Board, shall be paid at that time to the Town Clerk. Thereafter, the Code Enforcement Officer will distribute the application to the Town Board for referral to the Planning Board, as well as to any other individuals, agencies or bodies that may be appropriate for their review, report and recommendation. Upon receiving the information required on the site plan submittal checklist (which is to be attached to the site plan review application) and a complete set of plans, drawings, maps, surveys and other materials deemed reasonably necessary and appropriate, the Planning Board will review and make an initial assessment of materials and notify the applicant of any additional materials needed to complete the site plan review. If variations from the submission requirements are to be granted, they will be mutually agreed upon by the applicant and the Planning Board at this initial consultation. This will be the preliminary stage of the site plan review. To further aid in determining public opinion and concerns, an optional public hearing may, but need not be, scheduled by the Planning Board within 45 days of receipt of a completed application for site plan review. The Planning Board shall act on such an application and notify the Town Board an applicant, in writing, of its action, which shall be to recommend either the acceptance or rejection of an application or the conditional acceptance of any application or the acceptance of an application conditioned upon certain changes in the proposed project or development. Final site plan approval or disapproval will be given by the Town Board following its receipt of a written recommendation by the Planning Board to approve, disapprove, or approve with modification an applicant’s site plan review application. Such a written recommendation shall be made by the Planning Board within 60 days of any public hearing held by the Planning Board or the submission of a completed site plan review application to the Planning Board. Any time limits set forth herein may be extended by mutual consent of the Planning Board and/or Town Board and the applicant to allow all interested parties to comment upon or modify any pending proposal. Notwithstanding the above, if the Town Board determines that it is in the best interest of the Town to expedite the review and approval or disapproval of a pending application, subject to the provisions of this chapter, the Town Board may notify the Planning Board of this determination, in which event the Planning Board will make a written recommendation to the Town Board to either accept a pending application without change, to accept a pending application subject to certain changes, conditions or modifications or to reject a pending application within 60 days of the date of the Town Board’s written request. Within 45 days of receiving a recommendation from the Planning Board, and to further aid in determining public opinion and concerns, the Town Board shall schedule a public hearing. Within 45 days of, the public hearing, the Town Board shall approve, disapprove or approve with modifications an applicant’s final site plan. In the event that the Town Board rules that the site plan does not comply with Town standards or regulations or is unacceptable to the Town Board for any other reason, then the record of such determination shall be delivered to the applicant, including a separate statement setting forth, in as much detail as needed
