AN ACT relative to payment by an applicant of outstanding costs on a withdrawn proposal submitted to a planning board.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Planning Board Procedures; Completed Application; Payment of Outstanding Costs. Amend RSA 676:4, I(b) to read as follows:
(b) The planning board shall specify by regulation what constitutes a completed application sufficient to invoke jurisdiction to obtain approval. A completed application means that sufficient information is included or submitted to allow the board to proceed with consideration and to make an informed decision, and that the applicant is not liable for any outstanding costs from a withdrawn proposal related to the current application. Failure to pay such costs shall constitute valid grounds for the planning board to terminate further consideration and to disapprove the plat without a public hearing. A completed application sufficient to invoke jurisdiction of the board shall be submitted to and accepted by the board only at a public meeting of the board, with notice as provided in subparagraph (d). The applicant shall file the application with the board or its agent at least 15 days prior to the meeting at which the application will be accepted. The application shall include the names and addresses of the applicant, all holders of conservation, preservation, or agricultural preservation restrictions as defined in RSA 477:45, and all abutters as indicated in the town records for incorporated towns or county records for unincorporated towns or unorganized places not more than 5 days before the day of filing. Abutters shall also be identified on any plat submitted to the board. The application shall also include the name and business address of every engineer, architect, land surveyor, or soil scientist whose professional seal appears on any plat submitted to the board.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
