Prior to applying for approval of a preliminary plan, the subdivider shall submit to the Planning Board a sketch plan and data as suggested in § 155-18.
B. 
The Planning Board shall designate a date for a conference with the subdivider, which date shall be within 30 days from the date of submission, notice of which shall be given not less than 10 days prior to such conference.
C. 
The subdivider and the Planning Board, or its designated representatives, shall discuss the property with respect to zoning requirements, existing private and public developments, facilities, and services, and those proposed by any master plan or contemplated by any public agency; and any special community or site problems that may be encountered, of which the Planning Board has knowledge. Possible changes or modifications in the sketch plan shall be discussed if the plan, as submitted, does not meet the objectives or standards of this chapter.
A. 
A subdivider should then consult with the New York State Department of Health if his proposed subdivision consists of four or more lots.
B. 
There shall be no building unless buildings shall be connected to functional sewers or dry sewers shall be installed and septic tanks used until functional sewers are available, at which time the use of the septic tank shall be discontinued and sewer connections shall be mandatory immediately upon the sewer becoming available.
C.

G. 
For any subdivision or portion of subdivision, the Planning Board will state, in writing, the character and extent of the public improvements required by local statute for which waivers may have been requested by the subdivider and which in the opinion of the Planning Board may be waived without jeopardy to public health, safety, morals, and general welfare or which are inappropriate because of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent to or in proximity to the proposed subdivision.
H. 
Conditional approval of a preliminary plan shall not constitute approval of the final plat. Rather, it shall be deemed an expression of approval to the layout submitted on the preliminary plan as a guide to the preparation of the final plat which will be submitted by the subdivider to the Planning Board for approval and for recording upon fulfillment of the requirements of this chapter and the conditions of approval, if any.
I. 
Conditional approval of the preliminary plan may be revoked by the Planning Board if a change in the character of the area or the availability of new information about the site and its surroundings indicate the unsuitability of the development, as shown on the preliminary plan. Before such revocation, the subdivider shall be informed, in writing, of the reasons therefor and shall be given an opportunity to be heard before the Planning Board.
J. 
Conditional approval of a preliminary plan shall expire after six months from the date of approval. Extensions for periods of six months may be granted by the Planning Board upon application.
A. 
The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary plan, as approved, and, if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plan which he proposes to record and develop at the time; provided, however, that such portion conforms to an orderly growth pattern, particularly with respect to the extension of streets and utility services. Such portion shall also conform to all requirements of this chapter.
B. 
Four cloth-backed copies of the final plat, and all required supplementary material as specified in § 155-20, together with two copies of the application for final approval, shall be submitted. This application, copies of the final plat, and supplementary material shall be received within two years of approval of the preliminary plan unless an extension of time is applied for and granted by the Planning Board.
C. 
At the time of filing the final plat, the subdivider shall also submit the following:
(1) 
A certificate as to adequacy of the proposed water supply and sewage system by the New York State Department of Health, and the New York State Water Resources Commission, where applicable.
(2) 
A certificate by a licensed professional engineer that any required improvements constructed by the subdivider have been designed and inspected and meet the minimum standards in this chapter, or as otherwise required by law.
(3) 
A performance bond, approved by the Planning Board and Village Board as to form, sufficiency, manner of execution and surety, for the completion of such required improvement as have not been constructed.
(4) 
Offers of cession, in a form certified as satisfactory by the Village Attorney, of all land to be dedicated for streets, highways, easements, parks or other public facilities.
(5) 
A certified check, in the amount of 1% of the cost of the required improvements, as determined by the Public Works Administrator to meet the costs of inspection of required improvements, unless the improvements are to be provided by special district.

[Amended 4-3-2000 by L.L. No. 1-2000]
E. 
All lands designated on the plat as park, playground, recreation area and open space, shall be subject to such conditions as the Planning Board may establish on the owner, concerning access, use and maintenance of such lands as it deems necessary to assure the preservation of such lands in perpetuity for their intended purposes. The Village Board shall require that such conditions be shown on the plat prior to plat approval and recording.
F. 
If the final plat is approved, the Planning Board shall make an appropriate notation to that effect on the face of the original drawings or on the cloth prints. Three copies will be retained by the Planning Board.
G. 
Approval of the final plat shall expire within 62 days from the date of such approval unless within such sixty-two-day period such plat shall have been duly recorded by the owner in the office of the County Clerk.
[Amended 4-3-2000 by L.L. No. 1-2000]
H. 
The Planning Board may permit the final plat to be divided into two or more sections, subject to such conditions as it deems necessary to assure orderly development of the subdivision. Approval of the sections shall be granted concurrently with the approval of the plat. The approved plat, or any approved section thereof, shall be recorded within 62 days of approval, subject to any conditions imposed, and shall encompass at least 10% of the total number of lots shown on the final plat. Approval of any other sections, not recorded, shall expire unless recorded before the expiration of three years. When the owner records each approved section, the entire final plat shall be filed with the Village Clerk within 30 days of the recording of any section with the County Clerk.
[Amended 4-3-2000 by L.L. No. 1-2000]
I. 
Within 30 days from the recording of the final plat or any approved section thereof, the owner shall file with the Planning Board a photostat copy of the plat certified by the County Clerk to be a true copy of the recorded plat.
J. 
In the event of disapproval, the grounds for such action shall be stated in the records of the Planning Board, and a copy of such decision shall be sent to the subdivider upon request.
K. 
Drawings showing the location of all required improvements, as built, shall be certified by a licensed land surveyor and filed with the Planning Board within 30 days prior to the acceptance of the improvements by the Village. Until such-built plans are filed, no performance bond guaranteeing the completion of such improvements shall be released.
L. 
Performance bonds may be changed only under provisions of Village Law § 7-730, Subdivision 9.
