Whenever any subdivision is proposed within
the territorial jurisdiction of the Board and before any permit for
the development of such land or for the erection of a structure thereon
may be granted, the owner or his authorized agent shall apply for
and secure approval of the proposed subdivision in accordance with
this chapter. Three principal steps are involved, namely:
[Added 12-21-1987 by L.L. No. 15-1987]
A. In any subdivision or partitioning which results in
three or more lots, the Planning Board shall engage the services of
a professional planner to make recommendations to it in connection
with the planning and development of the parcel.
B. The fees for such planning advice shall be paid by the applicant as set forth in Chapter
103 of the Old Westbury Code.
After completion of the subdivision plat and
construction plans in accordance with the Board's resolution, the
original tracing and two prints of each shall, within the time specified
in said resolution or if no time is specified, within 30 days, be
filed with the Clerk for final review by the Board. Approval of the
subdivision plat shall be endorsed thereon as follows:
A. When bonds are filed, approval of the plat shall be
endorsed thereon after the bonds have been approved and filed and
all of the conditions of the Board's resolution pertaining to the
plat have been satisfied.
B. When no bond is filed, approval of the plat shall
be endorsed thereon after all conditions of the Boards resolution
have been satisfied and all required improvements completed to the
satisfaction of the Board.
C. Number of copies to be signed. Approval of the Board
shall be noted on the subdivision plat by the Clerk, who shall sign
the tracing cloth original of the subdivision plat, which will be
returned to the subdivider, and one print of the plat which will be
retained by the Board.
In accordance with the Village Law and Real
Property Law, the approved subdivision plat shall be filed by the
subdivider with the Nassau County Clerk, Division of Land Records,
within 90 days of the date of signing. The approval of any plat not
so filed shall expire 90 days from the date of signing by the Board,
unless an extension of time is applied for in writing within said
ninety-day period and thereafter granted by the Board pursuant to
§ 7-728 of the Village Law.
Within 30 days of the filing thereof, the subdivider
shall submit to the Clerk two certified copies of the filed subdivision
plat.
No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions
shall be made in any subdivision plat after approval has been granted
by the Board and endorsed on the plat. In the event that any subdivision
plat, when recorded, contains any such changes, the plat shall be
deemed to be null and void, and the Board shall institute proceedings
to have said plat stricken from the records of the County Clerk. Any
erasures made on a plat prior to its signing shall be initialed by
the Clerk at the time of signing.
The procedure for approval of the development, as defined in §
185-2 herein, of a plat entirely or partially undeveloped and which was filed in the office of the Clerk of Nassau County prior to the appointment of the Board and the grant to the Board of authority to approve plats, shall be the same as that for approval of a subdivision plat.
