Proper Site Plan Submittal


IMPORTANCE OF A SITE-PLAN

 

A properly submitted site-plan is key to zoning review.  A site-plan may be hand-drawn, it need not be a survey or engineered drawing (although having such may identify easements and/or other factors a property owner may be unaware of).

 

A site-plan must include the following components to avoid a possible delay in the permitting review process:

  1. Complete property boundary, clearly delineated and labeled (with property measurements);
  2. Street(s) clearly identified and labeled;
  3. Water-body (if applicable) water-line clearly identified and labeled (seawalls and/or riprap clearly identified and labeled – if applicable);
  4. Proposed structure(s) with setbacks from affected property lines clearly drawn, labeled and delineated.  New construction, additions and/or any accessory structure(s) proposed.

Here’s an example of an excellent site-plan:
