The Town may require additional information relating to an applicant’s plans to ensure compliance with Town ordinances and approved standards and specifications for construction of public improvements and/or modification to plans that do not meet current ordinances, applicable standards or specifications, or which contain incomplete information. The Town’s request for additional information or modification to plans shall be specific and shall include citations to ordinances, standards, or specifications that require the modifications to the proposed improvement plans, which shall be logged in an index of required modification or additions. 4. In addition to revised improvement plans, an applicant shall provide a written explanation in response to the Town’s review comments identifying and explaining the applicant’s revisions including any reasons for declining to make revisions, if any. The applicant’s written explanation shall be comprehensive and specific, including citations to applicable standards and ordinances for the design, and an index of required revisions or additions for each required correction.
