[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
(6) 
Public hearing on preliminary plat plan application. Within 62 days after the receipt of a completed application for preliminary plat approval, the Board shall hold a public hearing. The public hearing shall be advertised at least once in the official Town newspaper at least five days before such hearing. Concurrently with the receipt of the preliminary plat by the Clerk of the Board, such plat will be referred to all other public agencies as may be required by federal, state, county or Town laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. Within 62 days after the date of such hearing, the Board shall approve, with or without modification, or disapprove such preliminary plat, and the grounds of a modification, if any, or the grounds for disapproval shall be stated upon the records of the Board. The time in which the Board must take action on such plat may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant and the Board. When so approving a plat, the Board shall state, in writing, modifications, if any, as it deems necessary for submission in final form. If the Board fails to act on a preliminary plat within the time prescribed, such plat shall be deemed granted preliminary approval.
(7) 
Final plat plan approval procedure. Within six months of the approval of the preliminary plat, the applicant must submit the final plat plan application on forms supplied by the Board and the final plat. If such application and plat plan are not so submitted, approval of the preliminary plat may be revoked by the Board; however, the Board may extend the time in which the applicant must submit the final plat plan application for nine additional periods of six months each, not to exceed a total of five years from the preliminary plat plan approval. (This final plat plan time approval parameter shall apply to any section of the subdivision not given final plat plan approval). Twelve copies of the final plat shall be submitted on Mylar sheets at scales as required by the Board. If the subdivision cannot be shown on one sheet, an additional drawing shall be submitted at an appropriate scale showing the entire subdivision. Within 62 days of final submission, the Board shall hold a public hearing, as outlined and following the procedure in § 151-5B(5) of this chapter, unless the Board deems the final plat to be in substantial agreement with the preliminary plat previously approved or modified, in which case the Board may waive the hearing requirement. The Board shall, by resolution, conditionally approve, with or without modifications, disapprove or grant final approval within 62 days of the final plat being received by the Clerk of the Board if no such hearing is held or, in the event such hearing is held, within 62 days after the hearing. The approval time may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant and the Board. In the event that the Board does not take action within the time limits mentioned above, the plat shall be deemed approved. Upon final approval, the Board, by resolution, shall authorize the Board Chairman or other Board member to sign the final plat or, upon conditional approval, with or without modifications, the Board, by resolution, shall authorize the Chairman or other Board member to sign the final plat, subject to completion of such requirements as may be stated in the resolution. Upon completion of all requirements of the conditional approval, the Chairman of the Board or other duly authorized member shall sign the plat certifying the completion of the requirements. Prior to granting conditional or final approval of a plat, the Board may permit the plat to be subdivided into two or more sections and may state such requirements as it deems necessary to ensure that the orderly development of the plat is completed before such sections may be signed by the Board Chairman or other authorized Board member. The Board may set forth a sequence pertaining to which of those sections may be developed first in order to ensure that development will have the least impact on drainage, sewage and transportation systems capacity. Conditional or final approval of the sections of a final plat, subject to any conditions imposed by the Board, shall be granted concurrently with the conditional or final approval of the plat. Final approval shall be deemed conditional until the subdivider has complied with the following requirements:
[Amended 3-20-2003 by L.L. No. 1-2003]
(a) 
The subdivider shall submit performance security to the Town approved by the Town Board as set forth in § 151-7 of this chapter.
(b) 
The subdivider tenders formal offers of cession to the Town, in a form satisfactory to the attorney for the Town, of any interest in facilities and improvements to be constructed, not specifically reserved by the subdivider, including but not limited to utilities, roads, highways, parks and open spaces. The subdivider shall present to the Town a release, if at that time obtainable, of any obligation being an encumbrance or lien on the interest in the facilities and improvements offered to the Town. Approval of the final plat by the Board shall not constitute an acceptance by the Town of the dedication of the facilities and the improvements.
(c) 
At the time the subdivider tenders formal offers of cession to the Town as required in Subsection B(7)(b), a cost estimate for those facilities to be dedicated shall be prepared and certified by the developer's professional engineer or land surveyor (if authorized by state law) and shall accompany the offer of cession. The cost estimate to be presented shall be in the form set forth in Appendix D following this chapter.[2]
[2]
Editor's Note: Appendix D is included at the end of this chapter.
(d) 
The subdivider shall effect the creation or extension of all improvement districts required by the Board.
(8) 
Conditional approval of a final plat shall expire 180 days after the date of the resolution granting conditional approval unless such conditions have been certified as completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Board may extend the time in which the conditions may be satisfied for up to two additional periods of 90 days each. Once the conditions have been met, the conditionally approved plat may then be submitted in final form for signature.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
(9) 
No construction of any sort, site improvements or building permit for any permanent building within this subdivision shall be issued by the Town until after the record sheet of the subdivision plat has been approved by the Board and has been filed in the office of the Wayne County Clerk.
(10) 
Effect of final plat plan approval as to residential subdivisions. Plat plan approval of a residential subdivision shall in effect be construed, in addition to plat plan approval, as site plan approval of the individual lots within the subdivision, as if site plan approval had been applied for and approved as set forth in § 151-17, provided that the approval is in compliance with all the requirements and principles set forth in § 151-10.
[Added 4-5-2001 by L.L. No. 2-2001]
A. 
The Board, at its sole discretion, may waive normal subdivision procedure and subdivision approval as set forth in this chapter, provided that the Board finds:
(1) 
The proposed subdivision will result in two lots, parcels, plots or sites, including the original lot to be subdivided, and the original lot has not been previously subdivided within a period of five years preceding the current subdivision.
[Amended 5-6-2010 by L.L. No. 4-2010]
(2) 
The proposed subdivision will not result in either of the two lots, parcels, plots or sites, by reason of the subdivision, being in violation of Chapter 180, Zoning.
(3) 
The proposed subdivision will not, in any possible situation, result in any lot, parcel, plot or site contiguous to the subdivided property being in violation of Chapter 180, Zoning, or Town Construction Specifications and Design Standards.[1] The Board, in its consideration of this criteria, may assume that each of the subdivided lots, parcels, plots or sites:
(a) 
Will or may in the future be owned by the owner of a contiguous lot, parcel, plot or site; and/or
(b) 
Will or may in the future be combined into one tax account number with a contiguous lot, parcel, plot or site.

Editor's Note: Said document shall be on file in the Town offices. See also Art. VI, Design Standards.
B. 
A subdivider desiring to obtain a waiver of normal subdivision procedure and subdivision approval as set forth in this chapter shall make application to the Board on a form satisfactory to the Board and request, in writing, that the application be added to the agenda of a regularly scheduled Board meeting as provided in § 151-17A of this chapter.
A. 
The subdivider shall submit performance security to the Town Board in an amount equal to the cost estimate as provided by the Board upon recommendation of the engineer for the Town. Performance security shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit or certified check payable to the Town of Walworth or any other form of security, within the sole discretion of the Town Board, acceptable to the Town Board. If the form of performance security submitted is a letter of credit, the terms and conditions of the letter of credit must be reviewed by the Town Board and approved before the letter of credit can be deemed an acceptable performance security. The performance security submitted to the Town and approved as provided herein shall run for a term to be fixed by the Town Board, but in no event more than three years, unless extended by the Town Board with the consent of the parties thereto. The performance security shall be released by the Town Board within 30 days of certification by the engineer for the Town that:
(1) 
Facilities and improvements have been completed substantially in accordance with the approved final plat and construction specifications all in compliance with the Town Construction Specifications and Design Standards;[1] and
[1]
Editor's Note: Said document shall be on file in the Town offices. See also Art. VI, Design Standards.
(2) 
A labor payment, material payment, operation and maintenance security, in an amount equal to 10% of the performance security, in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit, reviewed and approved as to its terms and conditions by the Town Board, or certified check or any other form of labor payment, material payment, operation and maintenance security, within the sole discretion of the Town Board, acceptable to the Town Board, has been delivered to the Town.
B. 
Partial release of the performance security, if in the form of a letter of credit or certified check deposited in a Town bank account, not to exceed 90% of the value of the completed facilities, may at any time be made by the Town Board upon the certification of the engineer for the Town that the completed facilities and improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the approved final plat and construction specifications all in compliance with the Town Construction Specifications and Design Standards.
C. 
In the event that the labor payment, material payment, operation and maintenance security is not submitted to the Town Board within 30 days of such certification by the engineer for the Town (that all the facilities and improvements have been completed as set forth herein) and the performance security is in the form of a letter of credit or certified check which has been deposited in a Town bank account, then the Town Board may withdraw from the performance security moneys equivalent to 10% of the total performance security and hold the same as a labor payment, material payment, operations and maintenance security for a period of one year from the date of dedication of the improvements to the Town, and the money shall be used by the Town in case any claims are made against the Town for labor performed, materials supplied by the subdivider or his or her agents or the maintenance of the facilities and improvements to effect their conformance with Construction Specifications and Design Standards of the Town. In the event that labor payment, material payment, operation and maintenance security is obtained by withdrawing funds from the performance security, any moneys left in the performance security shall be returned to the subdivider.
If the Board requires the subdivider to create or extend an improvement district, the Board, if it approves the final plat plan, shall conditionally approve the final plat and impose as a condition the creation or extension of the required improvement districts. Upon the Board conditionally approving the final plat, the subdivider shall then seek the creation or extension of the required districts by the Town Board or, alternatively, the subdivider, upon preliminary plat plan approval, may seek the creation or extension of required districts by the Town Board, provided that, upon the approval of the creation or extension of the required district or districts, the Town Board resolution shall require the subdivider to execute such contracts with the Town as the Town Board may deem necessary for the purpose of ensuring that the expense of such construction or installation is of no cost to the Town, including the filing of performance security. All pipes, mains and conduits in any improvement district or extension of an improvement district shall be constructed to the furthest extremity of the property to be developed, except in the event that the Town Board finds the waiver of this requirement is not contrary to the best interest of the Town, then, in that event, the Town Board may so waive the requirement.
A.
