Sec. 7-159b – Pre-application review of use of property. Notwithstanding any other provision of the general statutes, 
prior to the submission of an application for use of property under chapters 124, 126, 440 and 541 or any other provision 
of the general statutes authorizing an authority, commission, department or agency of a municipality to issue a permit or 
approval for use of such property, such authority, commission, department or agency or authorized agent thereof may 
separately, jointly, or in any combination, conduct a pre-application review of a proposed project with the applicant at 
the applicant's request. Such pre-application review and any results or information obtained from it may not be appealed 
under any provision of the general statutes, and shall not be binding on the applicant or any authority, commission, 
department, agency or other official having jurisdiction to review the proposed project.  
I have read and understand the above provision of the Connecticut General Statutes and understand and agree that 
whatever discussion, comments and/or recommendations are made through this review are non-binding upon the parties. 
Further, I acknowledge and agree that this pre-application review meeting is being conducted prior to and in anticipation 
of a formal application to the Waterford Planning and Zoning Commission or Conservation Commission to obtain 
feedback and response to the proposal or design, as it exists on this date, in the interest of preparing an application 
consistent with the Subdivision, Zoning or Wetlands regulations of the Town of Waterford as the case may be.
