Prior to the filing of an application for the approval of a major subdivision plat, the subdivider shall file, in duplicate, an application for the approval of a preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision. Such preliminary plat shall be clearly marked "preliminary plat" and shall be in the form described in Article
XIII hereof. The preliminary plat shall in all respects comply with the requirements set forth in the provisions of §§ 276 and 277 of the Town Law and Article
XIII of these regulations, except where a waiver may be specifically authorized by the Planning Board.
Three copies of the preliminary plat shall be
presented to the Clerk of the Planning Board at the time of submission
of the preliminary plat.
The subdivider or his duly authorized representative
shall attend the meeting of the Planning Board to discuss the preliminary
plat.
The Planning Board shall study the practicability
of the preliminary plat, taking into consideration the requirements
of the community and the best use of the land being subdivided. Particular
attention shall be given to the arrangement, location and width of
streets; their relation to the topography of the land; water supply;
sewage disposal; drainage; lot sizes and arrangement; the future development
of adjoining lands as yet unsubdivided; and the requirements of the
Master Plan, the Official Map and zoning regulations, if such exist.
The time of submission of the preliminary plat shall be considered to be the date on which the application for approval of the preliminary plat, complete and accompanied by the required fee and all data required by Article
XIII of these regulations, has been filed with the Clerk of the Planning Board.
