For the purpose of establishing the official submission date, said submission shall be made to the Planning Board at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board. The Planning Board requests the applicant to arrange for the Engineering Department to review the plans prior to said submission to the Planning Board as outlined above. Said person shall also file, by delivery or registered mail, a notice with the City Clerk stating the date of

2. Endorsement of Plan Not Requiring Approval:
If the Planning Board determines that the plan does not require approval, it shall without a public hearing and without unnecessary delay, endorse the plan under the words “Approval under the Subdivision Control Law Not Required”. The plan so endorsed will be returned to the applicant, and the Planning Board shall notify the City Clerk in writing of its action.

If the Planning Board determines that the plan does require approval under the Subdivision Control Law, it will so inform in writing the applicant and return the plan. The Planning Board will also notify the City Clerk in writing of its action.

If the Planning Board fails to act upon a plan submitted under this section or fails to notify the City Clerk and the person submitting the plan of its action with twenty-one (21) days after submission, it shall be deemed to have been determined that approval under the Subdivision Control Law is not required, and it shall forthwith endorse said plan, and on its failure to do so forthwith, the City Clerk shall issue a certificate to the same effect.
