No. 4-2017]
A. If an application for the alteration of lot lines of dimensions meets
the definition of lot line change, the Planning Board may determine
that the application does not require subdivision approval. The Planning
Board is hereby authorized upon such determination to direct the Planning
Board Chairperson to sign lot line change plats subject to such conditions
and requirements as the Planning Board deems necessary. No alteration
of lot lines or dimensions shall be made without the submission of
an application and the review of the Planning Board provided herein,
except that lot line changes involving the transfer of land area to
the Town of New Windsor, another governmental division or agency or
another entity having eminent domain authority shall be exempt from
this requirement. If a proposed alteration of lot lines or dimensions
does not meet the definition of lot line change, it shall be reviewed
as a subdivision.
B. Application, fees and information. The applicant shall submit an application for approval of a lot line change plat along with a SEQR short form EAF and the appropriate application fee and professional service fees as required by the Town Code. Said application shall contain the information described in Subsections
C,

of Fees of the Town of New Windsor, shall be submitted to the Secretary of the Planning Board,
and copies of all materials shall be distributed to the Code Enforcement

materials must also be submitted to the Secretary of the Planning

to the Planning Board Secretary in proper form (both paper copies
and electronic [CD, DVD or thumb drive]) and numbered according to
the schedule of meetings, workshops and submission deadlines and requirements
as may be adopted by the Planning Board. Once the lot line change
plat is finally approved, the applicant will be provided with one
stamped, signed plat which must be scanned and returned to the Secretary
of the Planning Board in a PDF file format on a CD, DVD or thumb drive.
Upon receipt of the scanned stamped, signed plat, the remaining copies
of the stamped, signed plat will be released to the applicant. No
building permit will be issued for any construction related to the
subdivision until such time as the applicant provides a scanned copy
of the stamped, signed plat on CD, DVD or thumb drive.
D. Information. The plat shall be at a convenient scale of no more than
50 feet to the inch. Plans shall be on uniform size sheets not larger
than those permitted by Planning Board policy and in conformance with
requirements for filing in the County Clerk's office. The final
plat shall include all information provided on the preliminary plat
and the following:
(1) A copy of such covenants or deed restrictions as is intended to cover
all or part of the tract.
(2) An actual field survey of the boundary lines of the lots to be involved
and a deed plat of the remainder of the tract, giving complete descriptive
data by bearings and distances, made and certified by a licensed land
surveyor. The corners of the tract shall also be located on the ground
and marked by monuments as approved by the Board, and shall be referenced,
and shown, on the plat.
(3) Proposed subdivision name, names of the municipalities and counties
in which it is located.

8 1/2 inches by 11 inches nor larger than 34 inches by 44 inches.
E. Accompanying information.
(1) A copy of such covenants or deed restrictions as are intended to
cover all or part of the lots subject to the lot line change.
(2) Proposed deeds reflecting the lot line change must be submitted to
the Planning Board attorney for review prior to approval of the lot
line change. (The Planning Board will require submission of copies
of the signed deeds prior to releasing the lot line change plat and
such original deeds must be recorded contemporaneously with the lot
line change plat at the Orange County Clerk's Office.)
F. Public hearing. A public hearing for a lot line change will not normally
be required; however, if the Planning Board has reason to believe
that a public hearing on the application is needed, such public hearing
may be scheduled. Notice shall be given in the manner specified in
this chapter for public hearings on subdivisions.
G. Expiration of approval. The approval of a lot line change shall expire
62 days after the signing of the plat by the Planning Board Chairperson
unless filing of the lot line plat is accomplished within that time
period in the Office of the Orange County Clerk. The expiration of
an approval shall mean that any further action shall require submission
of a new application, payment of a new application fee and Planning
Board review of all previous findings.
