At the time of the adoption of the Town's Code, the prevailing medium for the submission of site plan applications for public hearing was by way of a paper transmittal. The mode was reflective of a process that predated current technology advances that renders such need as obsolete. Today, plans submitted for hearing are scanned from a single set and published and transmitted electronically. As such the requirement for twelve copies of a plan set is unnecessary.

Implementation of the proposed ordinance is consistent with the One-for-One Policy established by the Town Council on April 3, 2018, which seeks, as a matter of policy, to delete obsolete provisions of Town Code when a new regulation is being adopted.

On April 17, 2018, The Planning and Zoning Board, acting in their capacity as the Local Planning Agency, recommended approval of the ordinance without any changes. The Town Council moved the item on First Reading at the April 3, 2018 hearing.
