[Adopted 6-5-1990 by L.L. No. 8-1990]
The Town Board is desirous of providing a mandate to the Planning Board to refer all subdivision applications to the Conservation Advisory Council and to the Parks, Recreation and Conservation Advisory Council for their review and comments with respect to the appropriateness of accepting recreation and/or money in lieu of said land on any subdivision application. It is for this purpose that this article is hereby considered adopted by the Town Board.
The policies and standards for reserving recreational areas or money in lieu thereof in major subdivisions, as set forth in Chapter 265, Subdivision of Land, § 265-11 of the Town Code of the Town of Cortlandt, is hereby supplemented by this article.
The Planning Board or, by resolution adopted by the Planning Board so authorizing him, the Director of Planning shall, upon receipt of any application for a major subdivision in the Town, refer said application and a copy of the proposed subdivision map to the Conservation Advisory Council and the Advisory Board for Parks, Recreation and Conservation. Said Boards shall then have 30 days from the time of referral to place, in writing, their comments to the Planning Board concerning their recommendations with respect to whether or not the Planning Board should accept land or money in lieu of land to satisfy the recreation requirements of law.
Following the expiration of 30 days from the date hereof, the Planning Board is free to act without waiting for any written comments from either of the two Boards mentioned herein.
This article shall not be interpreted in any way so as to impede the authority of deciding whether or not the reservation of land or money in lieu thereof should be made with respect to any subdivision in the Town of Cortlandt. It shall be the sole and exclusive domain of the Planning Board of the Town to determine whether or not recreation land should be reserved or money in lieu of land should be accepted on any subdivision in the Town.
