When identified in the application packet, a supplemental narrative statement describing how the proposal meets the required evaluation criteria.

4. A statement that the applicant is the owner of the property affected by the application or is authorized by the owner to submit the application. For land divisions, a declaration of ownership form signed by the owner is required.
