What is a development agreement?

A development agreement is a contract between a developer and the municipality that describes the rights and responsibility of the parties with regard to a development project, like a subdivision, that has received preliminary or final approval. They can address a wide range of issues, including the installation of infrastructure needed to support the project and phasing if its a large project. All development agreements are public records and can be viewed during normal office hours.

+ -

What is a determination of completeness?

When we receive a development application, staff will review the materials to make sure the application submittal is complete and ready for formal review. If an application submittal is not complete, staff will notify the applicant and describe the parts that are not complete.

A determination that an application is complete means the application is ready for formal review and does not suggest the applicant has provided sufficient information in all regards or preclude the reviewing authority from requesting additional information it deems appropriate.

I need to hire a professional surveyor. Can you recommend one?

The Town cannot recommend any particular surveyor. We do however maintain a list consultants and offer it as a public service. Check it out HERE. You can browse the list or use the filter to find those providing the services you may need.
