What this form is
The Village asks for this application when a new use or tenant is moving into an existing building or property. Applicants submit the completed form, a written description of business operations, the fee, and other required items for the application to be considered for the Planning Board agenda. If the applicant is not the property owner, the form requires a separate owner authorization with an original signature. The form also notes that signage, site plan, or special use permit applications may be needed.
Who needs it
Applicants proposing a new use or tenant in an existing Village property should submit this application; applicants who are not owners must also provide owner authorization.
Why it needs a notary
The optional owner authorization carries an acknowledgment before a notary public, and the property owner signs that authorization before the notary.
