Pursuant to the authority granted to the town in § 10 of the
Municipal Home Rule Law and § § 276, 277 and 278 of the
Town Law, the Town Board of the Town of Brownville authorizes and empowers
the Planning Board of the Town of Brownville to approve plats within that
part of the Town of Brownville outside the limits of any incorporated city
or village and to pass and approve the development of plats already filed
in the office of the Clerk of Jefferson County if such plats are entirely
or partially undeveloped; and the Planning Board is authorized and empowered
to approve or disapprove changes in the lines of existing streets, highways
or public areas shown on subdivision plats or maps filed in the office of
the Clerk of Jefferson County and the laying out, closing off or abandonment
of streets, highways or public areas under the provisions of the Town and
Highway Laws within that part of the Town of Brownville outside the limits
of any incorporated city or village.
This chapter shall be known as the "Subdivision Control Law of the Town
of Brownville."
This chapter shall be administered by the Planning Board and the Land
Use Inspector.
When, in the opinion of the Planning Board, undue individual hardship
may result from strict compliance with this chapter, it may modify the application
of this chapter so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest
secured, provided that such modification will not have the effect of nullifying
the intent and purpose of this chapter. In the case of a large-scale development,
such as a neighborhood unit plan which would include provisions for housing,
shopping and recreation facilities, the Planning Board may modify this chapter,
provided that such development shall include covenants, restrictions and other
legal provisions necessary to guarantee full achievement of such a proposed
plan.
