Whenever any subdivision of land is proposed,
before any contract is made for the sale of any part thereof and before
any permit for the erection of a structure in such proposed subdivision
shall be granted, the subdividing owner or his or her authorized agent
shall apply for and secure approval of such proposed subdivision in
accordance with the following procedure, which includes basically
two steps:
[Amended 8-11-1997 by L.L. No. 4-1997]
Upon completion of all requirements set forth
in the action approving the subdivision plat, the plat shall be properly
signed by the appropriate officers of the Planning Board and shall
be filed by the applicant in the office of the County Clerk. Any subdivision
plat not so filed within 62 days of the date of Planning Board signature
shall become null and void. The applicant shall submit three copies
of the final plat showing the endorsement of the County Clerk to the
Planning Board's secretary within 30 days of the date of filing.
When a performance bond is posted and where
a permit is desired for occupancy of a building in a subdivision,
prior to the completion of the improvements as required in the Planning
Board's approval of the subdivision plat, the Village Engineer shall
certify, in writing, that the street serving the proposed building
is adequate for vehicular access by the occupant, and by police and
fire equipment, prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. Where
such permit has been issued, the street shall be maintained in suitable
condition. If it is not so maintained and the situation is not corrected
within 48 hours following written notice from the Village Engineer,
the Village Engineer shall proceed to put the street into suitable
condition, the cost of which work shall be a charge against the subdivider.
The performance bond given by the subdivider shall provide for the
reimbursement of the village for necessary street maintenance expense
incurred under the above-described circumstances.
