Whenever any subdivision or resubdivision of land in the Town
of Bath is proposed, the subdividing owner or his authorized agent
shall apply for and secure approval of such proposed subdivision before
any contract for the sale of any part thereof is made and before any
permit for the erection of a structure in such proposed subdivision
shall be granted. Approval of a proposed subdivision shall be obtained
in accordance with the procedure specified in this Article.
Before filing an application and before preparing a preliminary layout pursuant to §
107-8, the applicant should:
A. Meet with the Planning Board to discuss his intentions and to determine the Board's requirements; he should present a vicinity map, sketch plan and general information as specified in §
107-17.
B. Determine the requirements of the State Health Department, whose
approval is required by this chapter, and which must eventually approve
any subdivision plat coming within its jurisdiction.
C. Determine the classification of the subdivision as a minor or major
subdivision.
(1) If the subdivision is classified and approved by the Planning Board
as a minor subdivision, a notation to that effect will be made on
the sketch plan. No further submissions of documents to the Planning
Board shall be required by the subdivider. The minor subdivision shall
be filed with the County Clerk within 60 days of such classification
or the approval shall be null and void.
(2) If the minor subdivision has frontage on, access to or is otherwise
directly related to any county road, existing or proposed, as shown
on the County Official Map, the Planning Board shall take appropriate
action in accord with § 239-k of the General Municipal Law.
(3) If the subdivision is classified as a major subdivision, the subdivider
shall comply with all the other applicable sections of this chapter.
