of existing lot lines or lot lines shown on an approved, yet unfiled
plat map, without the creation of new streets, curb cuts, infrastructure
or building lots.
Division of land including the elimination of
existing lot lines so as to consolidate one or more lots into a lesser
number and not involving the creation of new streets, curb cuts, infrastructure
or building lots.
Division of land for agricultural purposes into
two or more lots where the resulting lots are each five acres or more
in area and where such division does not involve the creation of a
new street or highway.
The Environmental Council of the Town of Manlius.
The final map or drawing on which the exact subdivision plan
is presented for approval and which, if approved, will be submitted
to the County Clerk for recording. The "final plat" shall include
the modifications, if any, required by the Planning Board at the time
of approval of the preliminary plat of such proposed subdivision if
such preliminary plat has been so approved.
The Planning Board of the Town of Manlius.
A tentative subdivision plat, in lesser detail than the final
plat, indicating the approximate proposed layout of a subdivision
as a basis for study and consideration prior to preparation of the
final plat, including but not restricted to road and lot layout and
approximate dimensions, key plan, topography and drainage, all proposed
facilities unsized, including preliminary plans and profile.
An informal plan, not necessarily to exact scale, indicating
salient existing features of a tract and its surroundings and the
general layout of a proposed subdivision.
A way for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, whether designated
as a street, highway, thoroughfare, parkway, road, avenue, boulevard,
lane, drive, place or other similar designation. The following classification
is used in these regulations:
ARTERIAL STREETS—Those which are used
primarily for fast or heavy traffic, usually with complete or partial
control over access from abutting property.
COLLECTOR STREETS—Those which carry traffic
from minor streets to a major system of arterial streets and highways.
CUL-DE-SAC STREETS—Minor streets with
one end open for public vehicle and pedestrian access and the other
end terminating in a vehicular turnaround. The length of a "cul-de-sac
street" shall be measured along the center line from its intersection
with the center line of the street from which it runs to the center
of the cul-de-sac turnaround.
MARGINAL ACCESS STREETS—Minor streets
which are parallel to and adjacent to arterial streets and highways
and which provide access to abutting properties and which provide
protection from through traffic.
MINOR STREETS—Those which are used primarily
for access to the abutting properties.
SERVICE DRIVES—Minor private ways which
are used primarily for vehicular service access to the back or the
side of properties otherwise abutting on a street.
The division of any parcel of land into two or more lots, blocks or sites, with or without streets or highways. The owner of real property which has been undivided since May 16, 1960, shall be entitled to convey one lot or parcel without being subject to these regulations; provided, however, that the resulting lots shall be in conformance with the requirements of Chapter 155, Zoning. A subdivision shall not include a "division of land."
