The subdivider shall, prior to the expiration of the approval
of the preliminary plat, file with the Planning Board an application
for approval of the subdivision plat in final form, upon forms available
from the Secretary of the Planning Board. All applications for final
plat approval for subdivisions shall be accompanied by a fee in accordance
with the Standard Schedule of Fees as fixed by the Town Board and
as may be amended from time to time. If a final plat is submitted
for only a portion of the subdivision shown on the approved preliminary
plat, an additional filing fee shall be paid for each final section
or phase submitted after the first final section or phase is approved.
Any submissions, including subdivision plat(s), shall be at
least 10 days prior to the date of the regularly scheduled monthly
meeting of the Planning Board. No application nor submission will
be considered unless all required fees have been paid in full and
all other data required herein have been filed with the Secretary
of the Planning Board.
All other governmental agency and/or departmental approvals
required by law, such as federal, state, county and/or local agencies,
shall be issued prior to the Planning Board granting final approval.
The Town Engineer or other delegated Town officer shall prepare
a performance bond estimate, which will be submitted along with recommendations
on the final plat.
The Planning Board shall hold a final public hearing unless
it is determined by the Planning Board, in its discretion, that one
is not necessary. The hearing shall be advertised at least once in
a newspaper of general circulation in the Town and a notice of the
public hearing posted in at least three prominent public places located
in the Town, both at least five days before the hearing if no hearing
is held on the draft environmental impact statement or 14 days before
a hearing held jointly with the draft environmental impact statement.
The applicant shall also provide notice of said public hearing by
certified mail, return receipt requested, to the owners of record
of property within 500 feet of the subject premises and to any other
persons as the Board in its discretion shall direct. The applicant
shall provide certified mail receipts as proof of such notification.
The Planning Board shall, within 62 days from the date of the
public hearing on the subdivision plat, if one is held, or within
62 days after the receipt of the final plat by the Secretary of the
Planning Board if no hearing is to be held, approve, disapprove or
conditionally approve, with or without modifications, the final subdivision
plat, and shall specify, in writing, or upon the record, its reasons
for any such refusal. Provision may be made for an extension of this
time by mutual consent of the subdivider and the Planning Board. If
a final environmental impact statement is required, the Planning Board
decision to approve, with or without modifications, or disapprove
the final plat will be made within 30 days of filing of the environmental
impact statement. In the event the plat is approved, no map shall
be signed by the Board until and unless the subdivider complies with
all requirements fixed by the Board, including but not limited to
the following:
A. Make all required corrections or changes to the satisfaction of the
Planning Board.
B. Post such security in an amount fixed by the Town Board and approved
by the Town Attorney and the submission of proof of the existence
of such liability insurance coverage naming the Town as an additional

the same, being approved by the Town Attorney.
C. Prepare prints of the corrected final plat drawings acceptable to
the Planning Board Engineer and Attorney and submit the following:
(1) Seven paper prints of the subdivision and construction plans; and
(2) One reproducible print of the subdivision plans.
