The sole officer authorized to sign approved subdivision plats
is the Chairman of the Planning Board or, in his absence, the Vice
Chairman. The Clerk of the Planning Board is, however, authorized
to carry out any ministerial acts on behalf of the Planning Board
or its Chairman that are required by this chapter.
No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions shall be made
in any subdivision plat after approval has been given by the Planning
Board and endorsed, in writing, on the plat, unless said plat is first
resubmitted to the Planning Board and such Board approves, in writing,
any such modifications. In the event that any subdivision plat is
recorded in the office of the Columbia County Clerk without complying
with these requirements, the same shall be considered null and void,
and the Planning Board shall institute proceedings to have the plat
stricken from the records of the office of the Columbia County Clerk.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements established by
the Planning Board of the Town of Stockport for the subdivision of
land and the provision of required improvements within the Town. Should
the requirements of this chapter conflict with or otherwise be inconsistent
with any provision or requirement of any other lawfully adopted rules,
regulations, ordinances or laws, the more stringent provisions or
those imposing the higher standards shall govern.
This chapter may be amended by the Town Board after public hearing.
Notice of the time, place and purpose of such hearing shall be given
by publication in the official Town newspaper at least five days prior
to the date on which it is to be held. A copy of the proposed amendment
shall be placed on file in the office of the Town Clerk, where it
shall be available for public inspection during normal working hours
for a period of at least five days before such hearing. Amendments
shall take effect on the date of Town Board approval or at such time
as provided in the resolution of approval and shall apply to any preliminary
subdivision which has not received approval or approval with modification
prior to such date and to any preliminary subdivision approval, with
or without modification, for which a formal application for final
approval is not received within six months of the date of such approval.
