Land partition is a simplified procedure for the limited subdivision
of land when no new street is to be constructed and there are no more than
four lots in the plat.
It is recommended that all applicants for a land partition
confer with the Planning Board prior to submitting any application or taking
any other related action.
The partitioning owner or his agent shall present at
the office of the Village Clerk the land partition submission consisting of
the application for the consideration of a land partition in duplicate, upon
forms provided by the Planning Board, with the approval of the Nassau County
Department of Health and, where necessary, the approval of the Nassau County
Department of Public Works endorsed thereon, such other documentation as the
Planning Board may require, and accompanied by a deposit of $300. The applicant
will be charged the actual out-of-pocket expenses pertaining to the processing
of the application and any hearing required so that expenses in excess of
the deposit will be assessed against the applicant. Should the cost of out-of-pocket
expenses be less than the deposit, the amount between the deposit and the
out-of-pocket expenses shall be refunded to the applicant.
The Village Clerk will distribute copies of the submission
to the Village Attorney, the Village Engineer, the Village Building Inspector
and such other village officials that may be concerned for recommendations
to the Planning Board. Such recommendations shall be transmitted to the Board
within 30 days of transmittal to the officials. If no recommendation is transmitted
within such time period, the official shall be deemed to approve the proposed
land partition.
The Planning Board shall take formal action on a land
partition plat, without a public hearing, within 60 days of its submission
at a regular Board meeting.
Prior to the approval of the Planning Board being endorsed
on the land partition plat, together with the date thereof, over the signature
of the Chairman of the Planning Board or an alternate designated by resolution
of the Board, the land partitioning owner or his agent shall cause all required
corrections to be made to the satisfaction of the Board and submit eight prints
and the original and two duplicate tracings of the final plat for such endorsement.
Within 90 days following the endorsement of final approval
by the Planning Board, the final land partition plat, together with one duplicate
tracing, shall be filed with the County Clerk. One duplicate tracing of the
plat together with eight prints shall be presented at the office of the Village
Clerk.
If an approved land partition plat is not filed in the
office of the County Clerk, Planning Board approval shall expire 90 days after
its Chairman has signed the approval endorsement. Any further action will
require a new fee as well as a review of all previous findings.
