This chapter shall be known as the "Revised
Subdivision Regulations of the Town of Salina."
[Amended 3-28-2022 by L.L. No. 4-2022]
Pursuant to the authority contained in Town
Law § 276, as amended or changed, and the resolution of
the Town Board of the Town of Salina, the Zoning Board of Appeals
of the Town of Salina in the County of Onondaga, State of New York,
is authorized and empowered to approve plats showing lots, blocks,
or sites, with or without streets or highways, to approve the development
of entirely or partially undeveloped plats already filed in the office
of the Clerk of the County of Onondaga, to approve preliminary plats
and to enact rules and regulations in respect to procedures before
it.
It is declared to be the policy of the Town
of Salina that subdivision and development of land for residential,
commercial, industrial or other uses shall be guided and regulated
in such a manner as to meet the following requirements for orderly
and harmonious growth and to protect the interests of the public health,
safety and welfare:
A.
Land to be subdivided or developed shall be of such
character that it can be used safely for building purposes without
danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace.
B.
Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water
supply, sewerage and other needed utility services and improvements.
C.
All proposed development shall be so laid out and
of such size as to be in harmony with the development pattern of the
neighboring properties.
D.
The proposed streets shall compose a convenient system
conforming to the Official Map and shall be properly related to the
proposals shown on the Comprehensive Plan and shall be of such width,
grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic, to facilitate
fire protection and to provide access of firefighting equipment to
buildings.
E.
Proper provision shall be made for open spaces for
parks and playgrounds; and future development or redevelopment shall
bear a fair share of the capital costs to the Town for municipal improvements
servicing such development.
[Amended 3-28-2022 by L.L. No. 4-2022]
Application filing fees, consulting fees, environmental quality review fees, inspection fees, fixed fees or other reasonable fees sufficient to recover costs incurred by the Town of Salina may be charged as determined by the Zoning Board of Appeals or Town Board. Such fees shall be established by resolution of the Town Board, and the subdivision's obligation for payment of same may be secured by inclusion of a requirement for the escrow of estimated fees in the security agreement required under § 210-22 hereof or any other agreement imposed by the Department of Planning and Development to ensure payment of same, including a cost reimbursement agreement. Fees may be charged a second time or increased in the event that an application or approval has been delayed or abandoned by such subdivider and thereafter refiled or reactivated in order for the Town to recover the costs of repeat and/or further review of such plat or application.
[Amended 3-28-2022 by L.L. No. 4-2022]
The provisions of this chapter shall be interpreted
and applied together and in conjunction with the applicable provision
of the Town Law, and the provisions of this chapter shall be held
to be the minimum requirements. The Zoning Board of Appeals may impose
more stringent provisions if it is demonstrated that different standards
are reasonably necessary to promote the public health, safety and
welfare. Where the conditions imposed by any provision of this chapter
are either more restrictive or less restrictive than other requirements
imposed by any applicable law, ordinance, resolution, regulation or
rule, those regulations which are most restrictive and impose the
higher standards or requirements shall be applicable.
