This article recognizes three types of subdivisions, which are
subject to three different review and approval procedures:
A. Simple subdivision: requires the review of the Code Enforcement Officer
only, provided that a simple subdivision that has frontage on State
Route 14 or State Route 224 shall require the review required for
a minor subdivision.
B. Minor subdivision: review includes two required submissions by subdivider
and may include a public hearing if considered desirable by the Planning
Board.
C. Major subdivision: review includes three required submissions by
subdivider and at least one public hearing by the Planning Board.
The following terms shall have the following definitions for
purposes of this article:
CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT
A form of development that permits a reduction in lot area
and bulk requirements, provided there is no increase in the number
of lots permitted under a conventional subdivision or increase in
the overall density of development, and the remaining land area is
devoted to open space, active recreation, preservation of environmentally
sensitive areas or agriculture.
DATE OF SUBMISSION
The date of submission of required materials shall be considered
to be the date on which the materials for approval complete as determined
by the Planning Board Chair or the Planning Board Chair's designee,
and accompanied by the required fee, are accepted by the Planning
Board Chair, or the designee.
FINAL PLAT or FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT
A licensed survey map in final form showing a proposed subdivision,
containing all information and details required by state and local
law, for submission to the Planning Board for purposes of review,
public hearing and approval.

A.
A subdivision of land resulting in four or more lots or the
creation of a fourth lot from the same original lot; or
B.
Any subdivision that involves a new public right-of-way, municipal
utility extension or other new public facility; or
C.
Any cluster subdivision or other subdivision which deviates
from the zoning regulations or other development policy of the Village.
MINOR SUBDIVISION
A subdivision of land resulting in three lots or the creation
of a third lot from the same original lot, that does not involve:
A.
A new public right-of-way, municipal utility extension or other
new public facility; or
B.
A cluster subdivision or other subdivision which deviates from
the zoning regulations or other development policy of the Village.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
A licensed survey map in preliminary form showing a proposed
subdivision, containing all information and details required by state
and local law, for submission to the Planning Board for purposes of
review and public hearing.
REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS
Any roads, bridges, sidewalks, utility, storm water, water,
sewer, or other types of infrastructure facilities shown on the approved
final plat.
SIMPLE SUBDIVISION
A.
The division of a lot into two lots; or
B.
Realignment of boundary lines between lots so as to transfer
land from one lot to an adjacent lot; or
C.
Separation of noncontiguous lots (e.g., lots bisected by public
or quasi-public rights-of-way) into separate lots of record without
new boundary alignment.
SKETCH PLAT
A sketch of a proposed subdivision showing the form, layout,
roads, public facilities and other information specified in this article.
At any point in the subdivision review process the Planning
Board may choose to, and at the direction of the Village Board of
Trustees shall, retain consultants and/or refer a proposed subdivision
to the county or regional planning staffs for review, comment, and
advice on any aspect of the approval process, subdivision design,
engineering specifications, or other pertinent matters. The cost shall
be borne by the applicant. The Planning Board may, as a condition
to further review of a proposed subdivision, require that an applicant
deposit with the Village Treasurer an amount necessary to pay all
or part of such cost, as the Planning Board shall determine.
