That is an Administrative level of review that would identify the activity envelope, which will include all disturbances required to develop including the well (there is no water source other than drilling a potable well), on-site wastewater treatment system, driveway, patios, etc. The review would consider the constraints on the property such as steep slopes, setbacks, etc. Site Plan would consider the development and would require at least a conceptual design of the proposed home.
