[Amended 1-21-1971]
Before preparing the preliminary layout, the applicant shall
familiarize himself with this chapter and shall discuss with the Planning
Board or its representative the requirements for reservation of land,
street improvements, drainage, sewerage, water, fire protection and
similar aspects, as well as the availability of existing services.
The applicant should also discuss the preliminary layout with the
County Health Department whose approval is required by this chapter
and who must eventually approve any subdivision plat coming within
its jurisdiction.
[Amended 1-21-1971]
Prior to filing an application for the approval of a subdivision
plat, the applicant shall file an application for approval of a preliminary
layout. The application shall:
A. Be made on forms similar to those in this chapter and shall indicate thereon that such application does
not constitute a formal application for subdivision approval under
the terms of § 7-728 of the Village Law.
B. Include all land which the applicant proposes to subdivide.
C. Be accompanied by six copies of the preliminary layout as described in §
101-48 of this chapter.
D. Comply in all respects with Article
VIII of this chapter and with the provisions of the Village Law, except where a modification may be specifically authorized in writing by the Planning Board.
E. Be presented to the Chairman of the Planning Board.
F. Be accompanied by a check payable to the Village in payment of the
application and review fees for the proposed subdivision, as established
by resolution of the Board of Trustees. If the applicant subsequently
elects not to file an application for approval of a subdivision plat, 1/2 of this fee shall be returned. Additional fees are
as provided in the schedule on file with the Village Clerk.

G. Include proof of ownership by the applicant of the premises affected
in the application, to consist of a certified copy of the recorded
deed, including any covenants, restrictions and encumbrances thereon,
in an appropriate affidavit form.
H. Be accompanied by a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP shall meet the performance and design criteria and standards in Chapter
65. No preliminary subdivision plan approval shall be approved without a SWPPP. The approved preliminary subdivision plat shall be consistent with the provisions of Chapter
65.
[Added 9-18-2007 by L.L. No. 7-2007]
To permit inspection and checking of a proposed subdivision
by the Planning Board and its agents, the owner shall provide stakes
as follows:
A. Along the center line of each proposed street at intervals of not
more than 100 feet and at each point of beginning and ending of each
curve. Each stake shall be identified by station marking to conform
to the plans as presented and shall be so placed as to extend at least
30 inches above ground surface. In as much as these stakes are not
permanent, a tolerance of one foot from exact position will be allowed.
B. A stake shall be placed along the street frontage of each lot at
the intersection of the side lot line and the street right-of-way
line, marked with the identifying numbers of the lots on each side,
as shown on the preliminary layout. These stakes shall be maintained
in position during construction operations.
C. All stakes referred to in this section shall be in position at the
time application is made to the Planning Board for tentative approval
of the preliminary layout.
D. All stakes removed or destroyed prior to the approval of the subdivision
plat shall be replaced by the applicant if required by the Planning
Board or its authorized representatives.
The applicant should attend the next meeting of the Planning
Board at which the preliminary layout is to be discussed.
The Planning Board will study the practicability of the preliminary
layout. Particular attention will be given to the arrangement, location
and width of streets, their relation to the topography of the lands
sewage disposal, drainage, lot sizes and arrangement, the future of
development of adjoining lands as yet unsubdivided and the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
After discussion of the preliminary layout, the Planning Board
will advise the applicant of any specific changes it will require
in the layout and the character and extent of required improvements
and reservations which it will require as a prerequisite to the approval
of the subdivision plat. This shall constitute a denial of the preliminary
layout until such time as the requirements and changes are presented
on a revised preliminary layout.
Where a proposed subdivision does not involve a proposed street or a proposed realignment or widening of an existing street; does not involve the construction or expansion in capacity of any existing or proposed drainage system; does not involve the extension of any water or sewerage facilities; and where no further subdivision is possible and where the Planning Board receives a report from the Village Engineer to this effect, the Planning Board may waive, by resolution, the submission and tentative approval of the preliminary layout as required by this article. If the Planning Board elects to waive the preliminary layout procedure, then the fee specified in §
101-10F of this chapter shall accompany the application for approval of a subdivision plat, as provided in §
101-16 of this chapter.
