§ 535-82 Amendments to site plan. [1]
A site plan required to be approved by the Plan Commission under this article shall not be modified as to any of the elements contained in § 535-81 unless approved by the Plan Commission. This requirement shall not be varied with the exception of the access to utilities and points of utility hookups required under § 535-81C. As it relates to access to utilities and points of utility hookups, variation may be made after approval by the Superintendent of the Sanitary District and the Town Administrator. Variation from the plan which has received approval by the Plan Commission may be granted by the Town Administrator where it is necessary for the avoidance of utilities or for the public convenience or for the efficiency and adequacy of utility hookups or when the change is, in the opinion of the Administrator, minor and will not increase lot coverage or density or decrease required setbacks below the minimum standard contained in the zoning district in which it is located. Relocating driveway openings, changes in signage, or changes in landscaping adjacent to residential land uses shall require Plan Commission review.
