Whenever any subdivision or resubdivision of
land in the Village of Tivoli is proposed, the subdividing owner,
or his authorized agent, shall apply for and secure approval of such
proposed subdivision before any contract for the sale of any part
thereof is made and before any permit for the erection of a structure
in such proposed subdivision shall be granted. Approval of a proposed
subdivision shall be obtained in accordance with the procedure specified
in this article.
For a resubdivision, the same procedure shall
apply as for a subdivision. If the proposed resubdivision consists
solely of the simple alteration of lot lines where no additional lots
would be created, then normal subdivision procedures may be waived
at the discretion of the Planning Board. A statement indicating such
shall be part of the Planning Board's record on the subdivision. Notification
of the purpose for the division (i.e., lot-line adjustment) shall
be shown on the plat and in the deeds. Tax numbers shall be reassigned
to the new legal descriptions.
Where compliance with this chapter would cause unusual hardship, extraordinary difficulties or be inappropriate because of exceptional and unique conditions, the minimum requirements of this chapter may be waived or modified to mitigate the hardship, provided that the public interest is protected and the development is in keeping with the general spirit and intent of this chapter; the Official Map; Chapter
231, Zoning; and the Comprehensive Plan.
A building permit for erection of a structure
in a development laid out subsequent to the adoption of this chapter
shall not be issued unless the street giving access to the proposed
building appears on a recorded plat approved by the Planning Board
and unless such street has been suitably improved or bonded to cover
the full cost of such improvement.
No public municipal street utility or improvement
shall be constructed by the Village in any street or highway until
it has become a public street or highway and is duly placed on the
Official Map.
