Prior to the issuance of a building permit, demolition permit, zoning approval or certificate of occupancy for any development, a final site plan application shall be submitted to and approved by resolution of the Board in accordance with the requirements of this article, and all conditions precedent to said approval, including but not limited to the completion of required infrastructure improvements as set forth in §
184-70 and/or the posting of performance guarantees for same, shall be complied with.

Notwithstanding the above, the following developments shall be exempt from the requirement of site plan review and approval:
(1)
Individual lot applications for detached one-family
dwelling unit buildings;

unit buildings; provided that the Board may review site-related issues
to determine that all of the lots proposed by the development plat
are adaptable for their intended purposes and without danger to the
general welfare;
(3)
A proposed alteration that is not a modification of the utilization of a building, structure or property as defined in §
184-8 and/or a change to the exterior dimensions of any existing building(s) or structure(s); provided that such determinations shall be made by the Zoning Official.

as determined by the Zoning Official;

Wall signs and temporary signs;
(c)
Fences, except for fences greater than four
