[Amended 6-11-1998]
The subdivider shall, within six months after the approval of
the preliminary plat, file with the Planning Board an application
of the subdivision plat in final form, using the approved application
blank available from the Clerk of the Planning Board. All applications
for plat approval for major subdivisions shall be accompanied by a
fee of $50. If the final plat is not submitted within six months after
the approval of the preliminary plat, the Planning Board may refuse
to approve the final plat and require resubmission of the preliminary
plat, or such time requirement may be waived by the Planning Board.
[Amended 8-23-1988]
A subdivider intending to submit a proposed subdivision plat
for the approval of the Planning Board shall provide the Clerk of
the Board with a copy of the application and three Mylar prints and
three paper prints of the plat, the original and one true copy of
all offers of cession, covenants and agreements and two prints of
all construction drawings.
The time of submission of the subdivision plat shall be considered to be the date on which the application for approval of the subdivision plat, complete and accompanied by the required fee and all data required by § 174-74 of these regulations, has been filed with the Clerk of the Planning Board.
Water and sewer facility proposals contained in the subdivision
plat shall be properly endorsed and approved by the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation and/or New York State Department
of Health. Applications for approval of plans for sewer or water facilities
will be filed by the subdivider with all necessary Town, county and
state agencies.
Within 45 days of the submission of a plat in final form for approval, a hearing shall be held by the Planning Board. This hearing shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town at least five days before such hearing; provided, however, that when the Planning Board deems the final plat to be in substantial agreement with a preliminary plat approved under Article IV and modified in accordance with requirements of such approval, if such preliminary plat has been approved with modification, the Planning Board may waive the requirement for such public hearing.
A.
The Planning Board shall by resolution conditionally approve, conditionally
approve with or without modification, disapprove or grant final approval
and authorize the signing of such plat within 45 days of its receipt
by the Clerk of the Planning Board if no hearing is held or, in the
event a hearing is held, within 45 days after the date of such hearing.
This time may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and
the Planning Board. Failure to take action on a final plat within
the time prescribed therefor shall be deemed approval of the plat.
B.
Upon resolution of conditional approval of such final plat, the Planning
Board shall empower a duly authorized officer to sign the plat upon
completion of such requirements as may be stated in the resolution.
Within five days of such resolution, the plat shall be certified by
the Clerk of the Planning Board as conditionally approved and a copy
filed in his office and a certified copy mailed to the subdivider.
The copy mailed to the subdivider shall include a certified statement
of such requirements which, when completed, will authorize the signing
of the conditionally approved final plat. Upon completion of such
requirements, the plat shall be signed by said duly authorized officer
of the Planning Board. Conditional approval of a final plat shall
expire 180 days after the date of the resolution granting final approval
unless the requirements have been certified as completed within that
time. The Planning Board may, however, extend the time within which
a conditionally approved plat may be submitted for signature if, in
its opinion, such extension is warranted in the circumstances, for
not to exceed two additional periods of 90 days each.
