[Adopted 7-19-1939; amended in
its entirety at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions,
Art. I)]
This article shall hereafter be known and cited as the "Planning
Board Law of the Village of Dansville."
The purpose of this article is to formalize the creation of
the Village of Dansville Planning Board as previously established,
in order to carry out the responsibilities and authority set forth
in Article 7 of the Village Law of the State of New York.
The existing members of the Planning Board shall serve their
terms as previously set out. Thereafter, appointments shall be made
for terms of up to five years on a staggered basis such that the term
of one member will expire each year. Their successors shall be appointed
for terms of five years from and after the expiration of the terms
of their predecessors in office, except that the alternate member
shall be appointed as set forth in this chapter. If a vacancy shall
occur otherwise than by expiration of a term, it shall be filled by
the Mayor by appointment for the unexpired term.
The Planning Board may review and make recommendations on a
proposed Village Comprehensive Plan or amendment thereto. In addition,
the Planning Board shall have the full power and authority to make
investigations, maps, reports and recommendations in connection therewith
relating to the planning and development of the Village as it seems
desirable, provided that the total expenditures of said Board shall
not exceed the appropriation provided therefor.
The Village Planning Board shall have the specific power and
authority to approve subdivision plats, approve special use permits
and approve site plans and other duties as set forth in the Code of
the Village of Dansville. This provision shall not be construed to
limit the powers and duties of the Planning Board, and the Planning
Board shall have all powers and duties as set forth in Article 7 of
the Village Law of New York State.
