Application for approval of a subdivision shall be made, in
writing, by the owner or his agent and shall be accompanied by a plat
or map showing the proposed subdivision, in the form and with the
information specified below, together with the further specified documents
and information. Such application and the accompanying plat and other
information and materials shall be handed to the Village Manager,

A.
Before final approval of a subdivision shall be considered by the Planning Board, the subdivision plat shall first be submitted to the Board in preliminary form, to be known as the "preliminary plat." The preliminary plat shall show and shall be accompanied by the information specified under Article III of this chapter. The Planning Board shall study the preliminary layout and follow the procedures of Village Law § 7-728, Subdivision 5, to approve, approve with conditions or disapprove the preliminary layout.
[Amended 6-21-1999 by L.L. No. 5-1999]
B.
Although not required, it is suggested, in the interests of saving
him time and expense, that the subdivider discuss his intentions with
the Planning Board prior to preparing the preliminary plat.
C.
Upon the Planning Board's approval of the preliminary plat, the subdivider may proceed with preparation of the final plat and with fulfilling the conditions attached to approval thereof. The final plat shall be in the form and shall contain and be accompanied by the information specified under Article IV of this chapter. The final plat and all the materials relating thereto shall be handed to the Village Manager, who shall stamp thereon the date of receipt thereof. To be considered at the next regular meeting of the Planning Board, the final plat shall be in the hands of the Village Manager not less than 15 days prior to the date of such meeting. Final subdivision plat approval shall be granted, granted with conditions or disapproved pursuant to Village Law § 7-728, Subdivision 6.
[Amended 6-21-1999 by L.L. No. 5-1999]
D.
If the Planning Board disapproves a preliminary or a final plat,
the findings and reason for such action shall be stated on the records
of the Board, and the applicant shall be given a copy.
Planning Board approval of the preliminary plat shall confer
upon the applicant the following rights for a period of six months
from the date of approval:
A.
Approval of the final plat by the Planning Board shall be deemed
an acceptance of the proposed dedication of all streets and other
public areas shown on the plat, but neither approval of the final
plat by the Planning Board nor the act of recording the plat shall
impose any duty upon the Village concerning the maintenance or improvement
of any such proposed dedicated parts until the Village authorities
shall have made actual appropriations of the same by entry, use or
improvement and the developer or property owner has complied with
all other requirements herein contained.
B.
However, the owner of the land or his agent may place a notation
on the final plat to the effect that there is no offer of dedication
of the streets or other public areas to the public, in which event
the title to such ways and other lands shall remain with the subdivider,
and the Village shall assume no responsibility for the improvement
or maintenance thereof, which fact shall also be noted on the final
plat.
C.
The Planning Board's approval of a final plat shall expire 62
days after the date of such approval unless within that period the
plat shall have been duly filed with the County Clerk by the owner
or his agent. A plat may be filed in part within 62 days after approval
by the Planning Board, provided that the entire plat is filed within
30 days after such partial filing. For good cause shown, the Planning
Board may extend the time for plat filing for two additional periods
not exceeding 90 days each.
