Pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law § 10 and Article
16 of the Town Law, the Town Board of the Town of Inlet authorizes
and empowers the Planning Board of the Town of Inlet to approve or
disapprove applications for subdivision plat approval within the Town
of Inlet.
This chapter shall be known and cited as the "Town of Inlet
Subdivision Control Law."
The standards and procedures contained herein are intended to
insure that:
A.
Land to be subdivided is suitable for building purposes without creating
dangers to health, or peril from fire, flood, traffic hazard, or other
hazard;
B.
Lots are created such that adequate provision can be made for sewage
disposal, water supply, emergency vehicle access, stormwater drainage,
utility service, and other needed improvements;
C.
Roads are constructed to Town standards and are suitable to accommodate
the expected volume of traffic;
D.
The rural and scenic character of the Town is preserved; and
E.
Goals and objectives of the Town of Inlet Comprehensive Plan are
furthered.
A.
This chapter regulates all subdivisions as defined herein.
B.
Whenever any subdivision of land is proposed to be undertaken, the
subdivider shall make application for and receive final approval of
such proposed subdivision in accordance with this chapter before:
(1)
Any lot is leased or sold, any land is cleared or vegetation removed
(except vegetation removed for surveying, engineering tests and inspection);
(2)
Any permit is issued for a structure in the subdivision; and
(3)
Any building, utility installation, road construction or other new
land use or development within the subdivision is undertaken.
D.
The Planning Board is authorized to review and approve the development
of any plat which has already been filed, at any time prior to the
effective date of this chapter, in the office of the Hamilton County
Clerk, if such plat is entirely or partially undeveloped. For purposes
of this section, "undeveloped" shall mean those plats where 20% or
more of the lots within the plat are unimproved, unless existing conditions,
such as poor drainage or wetlands, have prevented their development.
Whenever the requirements of this chapter are at variance with
the requirements of any lawfully adopted rules, regulations, law or
statutes, the most restrictive or those imposing the higher standard
shall govern.
Application review and inspection fees shall be established
by resolution of the Town Board.
