Confirm anything here with Amalga planning before you rely on it.
If the applicant does not agree with the determination of the Planning Commission or Town Staff that existing infrastructure is inadequate, or with the requirement for additional infrastructure, the applicant may request Town Council review. The Town Council is empowered to affirm, reverse or modify the determination of the Planning Commission, Town Staff or Town engineer/consultant. All actions regarding infrastructure impacts and their requirements of the Planning Commission or Town Staff are appealable to the Town Council and notice of any appeal shall be filed with the Town Recorder within seven (7) working days after the date of the decision which is being appealed.
If the Planning Commission or Town Staff has not acted on an application or has not indicated to the applicant what existing infrastructure is inadequate within 30 working days after complete information submission, the application shall be automatically forwarded to the Town Board for determination of adequacy of existing infrastructure.
1.13.6
Transferability The infrastructure review and approval is transferable with the title to the underlying property so that an approved project may be conveyed or assigned by the applicant to others without losing the approval. The permit cannot be transferred off the site on which the approval was granted.
1.13.7
Expiration If a zoning clearance is not obtained within twelve months from the date of approval, then the infrastructure review and approval process must be repeated prior to issuance of a zoning clearance. If a zoning clearance expires before actual construction of buildings or structures, the infrastructure review and approval process must be repeated prior to issuance of another zoning clearance.
1.13.8
