               for all subdivisions subject to the major subdivision process. The purpose of submitting
               the sketch plan is to afford the planning board and subdivider an opportunity to obtain
               advice and technical assistance of the subdivision review board in order to facilitate
               the subsequent preparation and approval of the preliminary plat in lieu of obtaining
               state plan review and approvals prior to preliminary plat application. This procedure
               does not require a fee.
