This section provides basic information about the applicant and the action. The purpose is to provide a common description of the project for easy communication between the various involved agencies, the public, and the applicant.
Name of Action or Project
Insert the common name or title of the project. Examples include:
- "Spaulding Subdivision"
- "Pine Hills Office Park"
- "Acme Plaza"
- "Adoption of Local Law #2 of 2012 (Telecommunication Towers)"
Project Location
Describe the location of the project. Include the actual address of the project site and add the county it is in. If the site does not have a street address, you can describe the location of the site using identifiable features found nearby (such as "200 feet south of the intersection of Maple Street and Main Street").
If required by the local municipality, also include the tax parcel identification number(s). Tax parcel ID numbers can be found on the official tax map of the community, and can be viewed at the local tax assessor's office.

Attach a map showing the location of the project. This map should be of sufficient size so the reviewing agency knows where the parcel is. This map can be from a tax map, a topographic map, an image from Google maps, or Bing maps, or another similar online mapping program. The map should show the project site boundaries at a scale large enough to display the relevant information about the site. A scale of one inch equals 24,000 feet is generally adequate. A small project site may need a more detailed map at a scale of one inch equals 40 or 100 feet. Select the scale that provides the reviewing agency with a good overview of the project site and the immediate surrounding area.
If the project requires subdivision, site plan, or special use permit approvals, a more detailed map will likely be required as part of the permit and review process. Check with the town, village or city clerk, building inspector, or code enforcement officer for information on permit and mapping requirements. The location map may be required as part of a more detailed site map, and the municipality may have other requirements that need to be incorporated into the location map.
