By authority of the resolution of the Town Board, pursuant to
the provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law, the Planning Board has
the power and authority to review and approve or disapprove plats
showing lots, blocks or sites, with or without streets or highways,
within the Town of Lewisboro.
If a parcel of land is to be subdivided, before offering land
for sale by reference to a plat or referring to the plat in deeds,
the owner is required by law to submit the plat of the parcel to the
Planning Board for its approval and then to file the approved plat
in the office of the County Clerk. The location and design of new
streets, if any, must also be approved by the Planning Board, and,
therefore, the construction of new streets shall not be started until
this approval has been obtained.
[Added 5-15-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
By Local Law No. 2 of the Year 2007, the Town of Lewisboro has
adopted the Compact Plan, as amended from time to time, as a statement of policies,
principles, and guides to supplement other established land use policies
in the Town. In its discretionary actions under this chapter, the
reviewing agency should take into consideration said statement of
policies, principles and guides, as appropriate.
A resubdivision, as defined herein, is subject to the same procedure, rules and regulations applying to an original subdivision except as otherwise permitted and regulated by §
195-13.
No permit for the erection of any building on any lot in a proposed
subdivision shall be issued unless the subdivision has been duly approved
by the Planning Board, the plat has been duly filed in the office
of the County Clerk and the street or common driveway giving access
to said lot has been suitably improved to the satisfaction of the
Planning Board or a performance bond as required by the Planning Board
has been duly filed with the Town.
A. When a performance bond has been filed with the Town, no building
permits will be issued until the required improvements have been substantially
completed in accordance with these regulations.
B. In accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the Building Inspector may issue a single building permit
based upon the entire tract of land where there is no other existing
principal use within the proposed subdivision. To prevent disapproval
of the subdivision, the location of the proposed building must be
in accordance with the approved preliminary plat.
Where the Planning Board finds that, because of special circumstances
of a particular case, extraordinary hardships may result from strict
compliance with these regulations, it may adjust the regulations so
that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured,
provided that any such adjustment will not have the effect of nullifying
the intent and purpose of these regulations, the Town Master Plan
or the Official Map of the Town. In granting any adjustment, the Planning
Board shall attach such conditions as are, in its judgment, necessary
to secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements
so adjusted.
Should any of these regulations conflict or be inconsistent
with any provision of the Town Law, such provision of the Town Law
shall apply.
In order that land may be subdivided and improved in accordance
with the authority, jurisdiction and policy of the Town, these regulations
are hereby adopted.
