In its review, the Planning Board may consult with the Town Engineer, the fire chief of any fire department serving the site involved, Monroe County Department of Planning and Development and other Town and county officials, as well as with representatives of federal and state agencies.

The Planning Board may require that the exterior design of all structures shall be prepared by, or under the direction of, a registered architect, whose seal shall be affixed to the plans, and to submit landscape plans prepared by, or under the direction of, a registered landscape architect, together with an estimate of the cost of installing same.

Public hearing. If the Planning Board determines that a public hearing on a preliminary site plan is in the public's best interests, said public hearing shall be conducted within 62 days of the receipt of the complete application for preliminary site plan approval and shall be advertised in the official newspaper of the Town at least 10 days before the public hearing. The Planning Board, by resolution, can waive the need to conduct a public hearing on final plans if changes are not substantial. All landowners within a 500-foot radius of the proposed project shall be notified by the CEO by mail at least 10 days before the public hearing.
