For the purpose of providing for the future growth and development of
the Town and affording adequate facilities for the housing, transportation,
distribution, comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of its population,
the Planning Board is empowered and authorized to approve preliminary and
final plats of subdivision showing lots, blocks or sites, with or without
streets or highways, within that part of the Town outside the limits of the
Village of Baldwinsville.
When used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the following
respective meanings, except where the context shows otherwise:
As a condition of approval of a subdivision plat or plats pursuant
to this article, the modification of the applicable zoning ordinance or local
law to provide an alternative permitted method of the development of such
plat or plats to allow all of the development which could occur on a particular
parcel of land to be developed on a portion of said parcel. In no case shall
the number of building plots or dwelling units exceed the number which could
be permitted, in the Planning Board's judgment, if the land were subdivided
into lots conforming to the minimum lot size and density requirements of the
applicable zoning ordinance or local law.
Approval by a Planning Board of a final plat subject to conditions
set forth by the Planning Board in a resolution conditionally approving such
plat. Such conditional approval does not qualify a final plat for recording
nor authorize issuance of any building permits prior to the signing of the
plat by a duly authorized officer of the Planning Board and recording of the
plat in the office of the County Clerk.
A drawing prepared in a manner prescribed by Town regulation that
shows a proposed subdivision, containing in such additional detail as shall
be provided by Town regulation all information required to be shown on a preliminary
plat and the modifications, if any, required by the Planning Board at the
time of approval of the preliminary plat if such preliminary plat has been
so approved.
Those physical additions and changes to the land to be subdivided
that may be necessary to produce usable and desired lots, including but not
limited to grading, paving, curbing, fire hydrants, water mains, sidewalks,
crosswalks, street shade trees, street signs, street lighting standards and
monuments.
Any subdivision not classified as a minor subdivision.
Any subdivision, or a subdivision and resubdivision or resubdivisions
within a ten-year period, dividing a parcel of land into three or fewer lots
or sub parcels on existing public streets required by the zoning regulations
and requiring no new streets, nor the creation or extension of improvement
districts for the supply of water, sewer or drainage facilities, and having
no substantial adverse affect upon, access to, use or development of the remainder
of the parcel or adjoining parcels.
A drawing prepared in a manner prescribed by Town regulation showing
the layout of a proposed subdivision, including, but not restricted to, road
and lot layout and approximate dimensions, key plan, topography and drainage
and all proposed facilities unsized, including preliminary plans and profiles,
at suitable scale and in such detail as local regulation may require.
The approval of the layout of a proposed subdivision as set forth
in a preliminary plat but subject to the approval of the plat in final form
in accordance with the provisions of this section.
The division of any parcel of land into a number of lots, blocks,
sites, parcels or subparcels, with or without streets or highways, for the
purpose of sale, transfer of ownership or development. The term "subdivision"
shall include any alteration of lot lines or sites shown on a plat previously
approved and filed in the office of the County Clerk.
