§ 66-9. Environmental analysis of Type I and unlisted actions.

The procedures for environmental analysis are as follows:

A. 

All Type I and unlisted actions must be analyzed, based upon an EAF, in order to ascertain whether they will have a significant effect on the environment. If so, such actions will require the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS). The EIS procedure is outlined in § 66-11 of this chapter. In the case of an unlisted action, a short-form of EAF may first be used to ascertain whether or not there is a possible adverse environmental effect, and, if so, a standard EAF must be prepared to further analyze the action.

B. 

The EAF shall be prepared by or on behalf of any agency, board, body or officer of the Village in connection with any Type I or unlisted action such agency, board, body or officer contemplates or proposes to carry out directly.

C. 

To assist in the determination of whether a Type I or unlisted action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment, applicants for permits or other approvals shall file an EAF with the board or officer designated as the lead agency according to § 66-12 of this chapter. The EAF shall be in the form approved by the Board of Trustees, stating the name of the applicant, the location of the property affected, if any, and a description of the nature of the proposed action and the effect it may have on the environment. The EAF shall be accompanied by required drawings, sketches, maps and other relevant information and may include the applicant's reason why the proposed action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment. Where the action involves the filing of an application form, the EAF shall be filed simultaneously with the application. In lieu of an EAF, the applicant may file a draft EIS.
