Notice of the hearing shall include reference to all matters being heard, including site plan and/or subdivision, and the approving authority shall review and approve or deny the subdivision or site plan simultaneously with the conditional use application.

Where storm drainpipes are installed outside of streets, easements or rights-of-way shall be required.
