The Planning Board heretofore established shall
be continued and shall have all the powers and duties provided by
the Village Law, the General Municipal Law and the Nassau County Charter,
Chapter 879 of the Laws of 1936 as amended, and any other special
statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations now or hereafter in force.
[Added 4-17-2001 by L.L. No. 3-2001]
A. Legislative findings. The Board of Trustees finds
that it is in the best interests of the Village residents to create
not more than five positions of alternate member of the Planning Board
to sit on applications and other matters for such members as are unable
to participate because of a conflict of interest or because of an
inability to attend a meeting, in order to help assure that a quorum
is readily available to hear applications and other matters in a timely
manner. Since Paragraph 16 of § 7-718 of the Village Law
solely provides for the establishment of such positions when members
are unable to participate because of a conflict of interest, the Board
of Trustees seeks to both implement the provisions of said section
and simultaneously to supersede the limitations of said section, to
the extent necessary, if at all, to provide that such alternate members
may also act when members are unwilling, unavailable or, for any other
reason, do not attend a meeting or participate on an application.
B. Appointment and term. The Mayor is hereby authorized
to appoint, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, not
more than five alternate members to the Planning Board. Each such
appointee shall serve from the date of such appointment until the
conclusion of the official year of the Village in which such appointment
is made.
C. Designation and powers. The Chairperson of the Planning
Board may designate an alternate member to substitute for a member
when such member is unable to participate because of a conflict of
interest on an application or other matter before the Planning Board,
or when a member is unwilling, unavailable or, for any other reason,
does not attend a meeting or participate on an application. When so
designated, the alternate member shall possess all the powers and
responsibilities of such member. When so designated, such designation
shall be entered into the minutes of the initial Planning Board meeting
at which the substitution is made.
D. Limit of number of alternate members' participation.
Under no circumstances shall more than two alternate members participate
at any one time on any application.
[Added 5-4-1993 by L.L. No. 3-1993]
A person who is a member of the Board of Trustees
shall also be eligible for membership on the Planning Board. However,
at any one time, not more than two members of the Planning Board may
be members of the Board of Trustees.
[Amended 3-20-2007 by L.L. No. 7-2007]
A. No subdivision shall be made of land within the Village
into two or more lots unless the same shall have been first approved
by the Planning Board.
B. No preliminary or final plat shall be approved which does not conform to the provisions of Chapter
480 of this Code.
C. A stormwater pollution prevention plan (”SWPPP”) consistent with the requirements of said Chapter
480 shall be required for preliminary subdivision plat approval. The SWPPP shall meet the performance and design criteria and standards in §
480-4 of said chapter.
D. A SWPPP consistent with the requirements of said Chapter
480 and with the terms of the preliminary subdivision plat approval shall be required for final subdivision plat approval.
[Added 7-7-1987 by L.L. No. 12-1987;
amended 12-16-2003 by L.L. No. 17-2003]
On the filing of an application under this article
with the Village Clerk, the applicant shall pay to the Village Clerk
such fees, costs, and deposits as shall be prescribed from time to
time by the Board of Trustees.
[Amended 8-21-1984 by L.L. No. 4-1984]
Any violation of or failure to comply with any
of the terms and conditions imposed by the Planning Board in granting
approval of a subdivision plat or site plan or in setting the specifications
for the improvement or extension of a street, which terms and conditions
govern the use, occupancy or maintenance of a lot or premises or the
installation or maintenance of improvements thereon, shall constitute
a violation of the provisions of this chapter.
