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 the erection of a structure in such proposed
subdivision shall be granted, the subdivider or his duly authorized
agent shall apply in writing for approval of such proposed subdivision
in accordance with the following procedures.
Any owner of land shall, prior to subdividing
or resubdividing land, submit to the Town Clerk at least 10 days prior
to the regular meeting of the Board three copies of a sketch plan
of the proposed subdivision, for the purposes of classification and
preliminary discussion.
No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions
shall be made in any subdivision plat after approval has been given
by the Town Board and endorsed, in writing, on the plat, unless said
plat is first resubmitted to the Town Board and such Board approves
any modifications. In the event that any such subdivision plat is
recorded without complying with this requirement, the same shall be
considered null and void, and the Town Board shall institute proceedings
to have the plat stricken from the records of the County Clerk.
Upon completion of the requirements above and
notation to that effect upon the subdivision plat, it shall be deemed
to have final approval and shall be properly signed by the Town Clerk
and may be filed by the applicant in the office of the County Clerk.
Any subdivision plat not so filed or recorded within 90 days of the
date upon which such plat is approved, or considered approved by reasons
of failure of the Town Board to act, shall become null and void, unless
the particular circumstances of said applicant warrant the Town Board
to grant an extension which shall not exceed two additional periods
of 90 days.
