[Added 7-14-1993 by L.L. No. 3-1993]
[Amended 7-14-1993 by L.L. No. 3-1993]
A. Whenever, by reason of the season of the year, any
lot improvements required of the applicant by the Planning Board cannot
be performed, the Building and Zoning Inspector may, nevertheless,
issue a certificate of occupancy, provided that there is no danger
to health, safety or general welfare upon accepting a cash escrow
deposit in an amount to be determined by the Planning Board for the
cost of said improvements.
B. All required improvements for which escrow moneys
have been accepted by the Building and Zoning Inspector at the time
of issuance of a certificate of occupancy shall be installed by the
applicant within a period of nine months from the date of deposit
and issuance of the certificate of occupancy. In the event that said
improvements have not been properly installed, at the end of said
time period the Building and Zoning Inspector shall give two weeks'
written notice to the developer requiring him or her to install the
same, and in the event that the same are not installed properly in
the discretion of the Building and Zoning Inspector, the Building
and Zoning Inspector may request the Town Board to authorize the Town
to proceed to contract out the work for the installation of the necessary
improvements in a sum not to exceed the amount of the escrow deposit.
At the time of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for which
escrow moneys are being deposited with the Building and Zoning Inspector,
the applicant shall obtain and file with the Building and Zoning Inspector
prior to obtaining the certificate of occupancy a notarized statement
from the purchaser or purchasers of the premises authorizing the Building
and Zoning Inspector or his or her agent to enter on to the property
and to install the improvements at the end of the nine-month period
in the event that the same have not been duly installed by the developer.
Where utilities required by the Planning Board
are to be installed by a public utility company or Town improvement
district, the Planning Board may accept assurance from the public
utility company or improvement district, in writing, that such installations
will be furnished by the company or improvement district within a
specified period of time and in accordance with the approved construction
plans.
The applicant shall be required to maintain
all improvements and provide for snow removal on roads and sidewalks
until acceptance of said improvements by the Town Board. If there
are any certificates of occupancy on a road not dedicated to the Town,
the Town may on reasonable notice plow the road or effect emergency
repairs and charge the same to developer. The applicant shall be required
to file a maintenance bond with the Town Board for a period of one
year, prior to acceptance of dedication, in an amount considered adequate
by the Town Engineer and in a form satisfactory to the Town Attorney
in order to assure the satisfactory condition of the required improvements
for a period of one year after the date of their acceptance by the
Town Board.
Acceptance of formal offers of dedication of
roads, easements and parks shall rest with the Town Board. The approval
by the Planning Board of a subdivision plat shall not be deemed to
constitute or imply the acceptance by the Town of any street, easement
or park shown on said plat. The Planning Board may require said plat
to be endorsed with appropriate notes to this effect.
Notwithstanding the provisions of §
184-23 of these regulations, the Planning Board may defer or waive at the time of final approval, subject to appropriate conditions, the provision of any or all such improvements as, in its judgment, are not requisite in the interests of the public health, safety and general welfare or which are inappropriate because of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities. Whenever it is deemed necessary by the Planning Board to defer the construction of any improvement or improvements required herein because of incompatible grades, future planning, inadequate or lack of connecting facilities or for other reasons, the developer shall pay his or her share of the costs of the future improvements to the Town in escrow prior to signing of the final subdivision plat. The Town shall refund any funds so paid if not used for their intended purpose; and refund shall be made when the Town Board determines said funds shall not be so used.
