<p class="MsoNormal">In my previous experience we were advised by Town Counsel that only the SPGA could determine that an application was incomplete/noncompliant, that we were obliged to accept it and process within the timeline. We could and did advise applicants
of issues, and most were responsive, but in cases where they weren’t, we just noted deficiencies in our report to the SPGA and recommended deferral or denial, depending on the nature of the issues. Again, when we told most applicants that this is how it would
be handled, they cured the issues. <o:p></o:p></p>

When received, the application package is stamped by the clerk's office and forwarded to my department. At that point, I review for completion against any ordinance or regulation. If it IS NOT COMPLETE, I communicate with the Planning Board chairperson first
(since they are the de facto decision maker). If the chairperson concurs with my conclusion, I communicate with the applicant via email citing the missing information and providing the relevant section that references the requirement. They are advised that
they HAVE NOT PROVIDED A COMPLETE APPLICATION and, until such information is provided, and only once ALL information is received, will the clock begin the 65 day countdown. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
