Whenever any subdivision or resubdivision of land in the Town
of North East 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.
Where compliance with these regulations would cause unusual
hardship, extraordinary difficulties or be inappropriate because of
exceptional and unique conditions, the minimum requirement of these
regulations may be waived or modified to mitigate the hardship, provided
that the public interest is protected and the development is in keeping
with the general spirit and intent of these regulations, the Official
Map, the Zoning Ordinance and the Town Plan.
A building permit for erection of a structure in a development
laid out subsequent to the adoption of these regulations shall not
be issued unless the street giving access to the proposed building
appears on a recorded plat approved by the Planning Board and unless
such street has been suitably improved or bonded to cover the full
cost of improvement.
No public municipal street utility or improvement shall be constructed
by the Town in any street or highway until it has become a public
street or highway and is duly placed on the Official Map. However, subject to the discretion of the Town Board,
a subsurface utility or improvement operated from revenue by the Town
or by a special district may be constructed by the Town in a private
street, provided that a public easement satisfactory to the Town Board
is obtained for such utility or improvement.
