Sparta Township City Zoning Code
§ 18-6.4
Concept Plan or Plat.
[Ord. No. 636 A 604]
An applicant may, at his option, request an informal concept review by the Planning Board prior to undertaking a preliminary application. Although it is expected that concept review would pertain to larger projects, the Planning Board welcomes discussion on conventional subdivisions and site plans. The purpose of a concept review is to identify items of major concerns to the Township inherent to the development proposal, allowing the applicant an opportunity to consider said concerns during the preparation of a preliminary application. The concept review shall not be binding upon the Board or the applicant. Concept plans should include the following:
a.
A letter of intent.
b.
A key map showing the entire tract and its relation to the surrounding areas, at a scale of one inch equals not less than 2,000 feet.
d.

e.
Date of original preparation and of each subsequent revision thereof.
f.
Existing block and lot numbers of the lots to be subdivided or developed as they appear on the municipal tax map.
