The purpose of the concept plan is to provide Planning Board input in the formative stages of subdivision and site plan design.

Applicants seeking concept plan informal review shall submit the items stipulated in Section 22-12 of this chapter 24 days before the concept plan meeting. These items provide the developer and Planning Board with an opportunity to discuss the development proposal in its formative stages.

A brief written summary of the concept plan review shall be provided within 30 working days after the meeting.

The applicant will be charged the fee established for concept plan review. The amount of any fee for such informal review shall be a credit towards fees for review of the application for development. Only one concept plan review fee shall be credited.

The applicant shall not be bound by any concept plan for which review is requested, nor shall the Planning Board be bound by any such review.

The applicant uses the information resulting from any concept plan review entirely at the applicant's own risk. The applicant shall make no claim against the Borough, the Municipal Agency or any of their agents or employees which is in any way related to a concept plan review.
