Whenever any subdivision of land is proposed
to be made and before any contract for the sale of or any offer to
sell any lots in such subdivision or any part thereof is made and
before any permit for erection of a structure in such proposed subdivision
shall be granted, the subdivider or his authorized agent shall apply
in writing for approval of such proposed subdivision in accordance
with the following procedure:
A. Preapplication meeting with Planning Board.
B. Sketch plan showing general concept.
C. Preliminary plat showing proposal in detail.
D. Review by nontown agencies.
E. Public hearing on preliminary plat.
F. Planning Board action on preliminary plat.
G. Final plat submission and review.
H. Public hearing on final plat.
I. Planning Board action by resolution.
J. Completion of improvements or posting of bond, certified
checks or suitable alternative surety.
K. Planning Board signs plat.
L. Plat is filed in County Clerk's office.
Before preparing a detailed proposal, the subdivider
should make an appointment at a regular meeting of the Planning Board
to familiarize himself with the requirements of these and other regulations,
the policies and plans of the Planning Board and other information
that may be pertinent to the subdivision. He should also discuss his
proposal with the County Health Department, which is responsible for
the adequacy of lot sizes and facilities for water supply and sewage
disposal. Under certain conditions, the subdivider may also need the
approval of the state or county highway agencies, the State Department
of Environmental Conservation, the Ulster County Planning Board and
others; therefore, the proposed subdivision should be discussed in
advance with these agencies.
Prior to filing a preliminary plat, the subdivider or his duly authorized representative shall submit a sketch plan showing a basic proposed layout and other information required in Article
V of these regulations. At least two copies of this sketch plan shall be delivered to the Clerk or other authorized official of the Planning Board at least 10 days before the next scheduled Board meeting. After submission of the sketch plan the Planning Board may schedule a field trip to the site, to be accompanied by the subdivider. To facilitate the inspection of the site, the subdivider shall have the center line of any proposed streets marked by temporary stakes. After review of the sketch plan and field inspection but within 45 days of the official date of submission of the sketch plan, the Planning Board will tentatively approve the sketch plan or recommend modifications in writing.
