A. 
When it is proposed to create up to four lots or building sites, or when it is proposed to divide a block, lot or outlot into up to four lots or building sites within a recorded subdivision plat without changing the boundaries of said block, lot or outlot, the subdivider shall file a certified survey map (CSM). Any lot or lots being applied for by CSM having five acres or less, and intended for residential purposes, shall include application for rezoning to residential.
[Amended 4-21-2005]
B. 
Previous to filing a certified survey map of any parcel of land, the subdivider shall consult with the Town Zoning Administrator for advice and assistance to assure the division does not conflict with local, county, or regional plans.
[Amended 4-21-2005]
C. 
The subdivider shall provide the Town with a reasonably accurate preliminary map of the land being considered for division. It may be a freehand drawing but of a sufficient scale so that conditions can be determined to be reviewed for proximity to adjacent streets and schools, for analysis of soil types, topography, and drainage, and generally for the effect the land division would have on the development of surrounding property. Such map shall describe the entire ownership involved in the process of division; provided, however, that where the division results in a residual parcel, not intended for immediate sale or other conveyance, the Town Plan Commission may recommend and the Town Board may waive the requirement for inclusion of the residual parcel. In this case, a supplementary map of reasonable accuracy shall be attached showing the relationship to the original ownership of the parcel or parcels being severed. In the event the division involves the dedication and development of a Town road, the subdivider shall submit an itemized estimate of the costs of required public improvements consistent with Town specifications.
D. 
After tentative Town approval as to a general land division, the subdivider shall proceed to have a certified survey map prepared. The certified survey map shall be drawn in accordance with this chapter. The subdivider shall file 15 copies of the CSM, accompanied by a filing fee (on record in the Town Clerk's office). Said filing must occur with the Town Clerk at least one week prior to the Town Plan Commission meeting. In the event the division involves the dedication and development of a Town road, the subdivider shall also meet with the Town Attorney to formulate a development agreement.[1]
