The pre-application conference may also identify issues and concerns wherever noted. It is not meant to be a detailed review of proposed plans or ideas. • Review time is limited to about 60 mins and is only intended to cover high-level major components of a project. • Pre-applications are not to be used for discussion or review of deviations or departures. • Please be aware that any communication or checklists provided to you at this meeting do not imply approval or conditional approval of the pending application. • Future review of your formal application may require changes, alterations, or additional information to clarify the details of your proposal and design.
