A. 
After classification by the Planning Board of the rough sketch plan as a minor or major subdivision, the developer shall apply to the Planning Board for approval of the preliminary plat on forms provided by the Planning Board. Such application shall be submitted to the Village Engineer not less than 14 days prior to a regular meeting date and shall be accompanied by the required fee and by six copies of the preliminary plat.
B. 
Simultaneously with the submission of an application for preliminary approval, the developer shall submit an application to the Architectural Review Board pursuant to Chapter 8 of the Village Code.
The time of submission of the preliminary plat shall be considered to be the date of the regular monthly meeting of the Planning Board at which time the Planning Board considers the preliminary plat in final form, which preliminary plat in final form shall have been submitted to the Village Engineer 14 days prior to the regular monthly meeting at which it is received by the Planning Board, complete and accompanied by the required fee, and all data required by this Part 2 have been filed with the Village Engineer.
If the site borders a county or state road, copies of the preliminary submission shall be forwarded to the Orange County Department of Public Works and/or the Regional Office of the New York State Department of Transportation in time for their comments to be returned and read into the minutes of the public hearing. If the site lies within 500 feet of a county or state road, drainage easement, institution or park or within 500 feet of a municipal boundary, a copy of the preliminary submission shall be forwarded to the Orange County Department of Planning in time for their comments to be returned and read into the minutes of the public hearing.
The Planning Board shall hold a public hearing within 45 days after the Planning Board receives a preliminary plat in final form. The hearing shall be advertised at least once in the official Village newspaper at least five days prior to the hearing and shall be posted and mailed to the owners of property abutting the proposed subdivision and to any other persons whom the Planning Board determines shall have a particular interest in the project.
A. 
The Planning Board shall take action within 45 days after the hearing required on such plats to approve, with or without modifications, or disapprove the preliminary plat. This time may be extended upon mutual consent of the subdivider and the Planning Board. When approving a preliminary plat the Planning Board must state, in writing, the modifications, if any, it deems necessary for submission of the plat in final form. The action of the Planning Board, plus any conditions attached thereto, shall be noted in the Board's minutes. Approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval of the subdivision plat, but rather it shall be deemed an expression of approval of the design submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the preparation of the plat, which will be submitted for approval of the Planning Board and for recording upon fulfillment of the requirements of this Part 2 and the conditions of the approval of the preliminary plat, if any.
B. 
Prior to approval of the subdivision plat, the Planning Board may require additional changes as a result of further study of the subdivision in final form or as a result of new information obtained at the public hearing. In the event that the Planning Board fails to act on a preliminary subdivision plat within the time noted, the plat shall be deemed granted preliminary approval, and the certificate of the Village Clerk as to the date of submission and the failure of the Planning Board to act on the plat must be issued on demand.
C. 
Approval with modifications. Where the Planning Board imposes modifications on the preliminary plat, the preliminary plat shall not be considered in final form until all of the modifications have been completed to the satisfaction of the Planning Board.
D. 
Expiration of approval. Planning Board approval of a preliminary plat shall expire six months after the date of the stamping of the map. No Planning Board action will be taken after such expiration until a new application and filing fee are submitted. An extension of a preliminary plat approval for a reasonable period of time may be given in cases of hardship, upon petition to the Planning Board.
