yards, driveways, landscaping, buffer zones, etc. to ensure safety,

Board, final approval of site plan shall be conditional upon satisfactory
compliance by applicant in making the changes or additions.
C.
Any applicant wishing to make changes in an approved site plan shall
submit a revised site plan to the Planning Board for review and approval.
The Planning Board may require as a condition of site plan approval
that the applicant file a performance bond or letter of credit in
such amount as the Planning Board determines to be in the public interest
to ensure that proposed development will be built in compliance with
accepted plans. The amount of any such bond must also be approved
by the Town Board.
In all districts, uses are not permitted which violate applicable
county, state and/or federal codes and regulations pertaining to environmental
issues. The Planning Board, under its powers of site plan review and
approval, shall decide whether uses meet these standards.
The provisions of this chapter shall not be interpreted to limit
in any way those powers and duties of the Planning Board as set forth
in Article 16 of the New York Town Law.
Where a public hearing is held to consider a proposed site plan,
the Planning Board shall give notice of the public hearing to any
adjacent municipality within 500 feet of the proposed development
in accordance with § 239-nn of the General Municipal Law.
The adjacent municipality may appear and be heard.
