What this form is
Applicants submit this form with the required checklist materials, Project Team Form, Owner Authorization Form, and review fee at each stage of review. It identifies the project, property, requested review type and stage, and the applicant’s certification that required materials have been submitted. The included Owner Authorization Form authorizes an application for subdivision or development of the property; each property owner must provide a separate form when there are multiple owners.
Who needs it
Applicants seeking planning review for a Westerly subdivision or land development project submit the application and related forms, including owner authorization for the subject property.
Why it needs a notary
