The Clerk shall establish and maintain a system
of numbering of applications and maintain a log of all application
numbers, proposed subdivision names and significant dates. All correspondence
from the applicant shall refer to the assigned number of the application.
The Clerk shall send one copy of all preliminary
plat applications to each member of the Planning Board, to the Code
Enforcement Officer and to the Village Planner and two copies to the
Village Attorney, each of whom shall review the same and comment in
writing within 30 days. One copy of the preliminary plat shall be
sent to the Chair of the Architectural Review Board.
All aspects of the proposed development which
do not conform to applicable zoning or site development codes shall
be noted on the preliminary plat.
The applicant or the applicant's agent may attend
the meeting designated by the Board to consider and discuss the preliminary
plat. Presentation or approval of the preliminary plat shall not be
deemed submission of the plat for final approval. The Clerk promptly
shall notify the applicant of the Board's action on the preliminary
plat application.
The preliminary plat application shall include:
A. Sections. The boundaries of each section where the
subdivision is to be divided into sections for the purpose of submitting
final plats, and each such section shall bear a number indicating
numerically the order in which the applicant proposes to submit for
approval the plats covering such sections. Unless otherwise approved
by the Board, the order of submission of final plats shall follow
the sequence of the section numbering.
B. An original layout, which shall be clearly and legibly
drawn on commercially acceptable reproducible material. The size of
the sheets shall not exceed 36 inches by 48 inches. When more than
one sheet is required, an additional key sheet 36 inches by 48 inches
shall be filed, showing, on a reduced scale, the entire subdivision
on one sheet with lot and block numbers. Each sheet shall be indexed
with one-inch-high lines along the borders to assist in folding the
sheets into 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches in size. The application
shall contain the following additional detail, at a minimum.
C. Scale. A layout, at a scale of not more than 50 feet
to the inch.
D. Topography. The topographic character of the land
shall be shown by means of contours of existing and proposed surface,
with intervals not to exceed two feet. Where the terrain is unusually
flat or unusually steep, the Board may require a smaller contour interval
or permit a greater contour interval. The existing topography may
be drawn from an actual survey certified by a licensed land surveyor.
Contours for existing surfaces shall be extended to cover an area
200 feet beyond the boundaries of the parcel to be subdivided or for
which the application is made, and further to cover the tributary
drainage areas affected by the site for which the application is made.
The topographic survey shall contain details concerning cutting and
filling as necessary to accomplish plans of development. At its discretion,
the Board may require the developer to submit photographs adequately
depicting the topography.
E. Subdivision name. The proposed subdivision name or
identifying title, which the applicant shall certify does not conflict
with, and is not confusingly similar to, the name of any other subdivision
in Nassau County.
F. Owner of subdivision. The name and address of the
record owner. If the record owner is a corporation or a partnership
in which a corporation is a general or limited partner, the names
and addresses of the five largest shareholders of each such corporation
shall also be disclosed.
G. Licensed surveyor. The name, license number and seal
of the licensed land surveyor and any other licensed professional
participating in preparation of the sketch plat.

designation for the land plotted, as well as the Village drainage
grid system designation, and any applicable GIS designation.
I. North arrow. The true North direction shall be at
the top of the map or within 20° east or west thereof.
J. Adjacent land. The name and layout and dimensions
of all adjacent subdivisions, names and owners of record of adjoining
undeveloped properties and the uses and improvements of adjacent lands
shall be accurately shown. This information shall be shown for the
area extending 200 feet beyond the boundaries of the proposed subdivision.
K. Applicable use districts. The applicable use districts, as established in Chapter
215 of this Code, and the boundaries of such districts as affect the area to be subdivided and also the area extending 200 feet beyond the boundaries of the proposed subdivision.
L. District lines. The location of any Village, town,
fire, school district and other special use district boundaries.
M. Other essential features. The location of existing
buildings, watercourses, streams, ponds, recharge basins, storm sewers,
sanitary sewers, water mains, gas mains, parks and other essential
existing features, as well as easements, rights-of-way or other encumbrances.
N. Elevations. The approximate key elevations, the directions
of water flow and the rate of grade on all proposed streets.
O. Street elevations. The established and existing elevations
on existing streets, expressed to two decimal places.
P. Storm drains. The proposed provisions for collecting
and disposing of stormwater.
Q. Existing streets. The names, widths and proposed widening
of existing streets located within the area to be subdivided or in
the area extending 200 feet beyond the boundaries of the proposed
subdivision. The location and type of sidewalk, curb and pavement,
if any, shall also be shown. The layout shall also include indications
of all locations where widening of roads may be required by any governmental
authority with jurisdiction.
R. New streets. The names of all proposed streets, which
names shall be the same as the names of the streets of which they
are continuations. If such streets are not continuations of existing
streets, such names shall not be similar to the names of any other
street within the Village or the area served by the same fire department
or post office. The Board shall have the power to require changes
in any proposed street names. Names of historical or local significance
shall be preferred in the selection of street names.
S. Comprehensive Plan streets. The location of streets,
public ways or any other feature shown on the Comprehensive Plan.
T. Dedicated areas. All parcels of land proposed to be
dedicated for public use, such as parks, playgrounds, recharge basins,
streets and street widening.
U. Schools and firehouses. The approximate distances
to the nearest schools and firehouses serving the proposed subdivision.

X. Boundary description. An outline survey of the land

of any part of the property which is included in the application and
each owner of any interest or easement in any part of such property.
EE. A separate plan indicating trees shown in relation
to existing and proposed contours and proposed buildings, structures,
recreational facilities and streets. Trees shall be identified numerically,
by size and species, and those trees proposed to be saved shall be
indicated clearly.
FF. Overall drainage plan. An overall drainage plan at
a scale of one inch to 50 feet shall be prepared in the Village grid
system as shown on the Village Key Map and as required by the Village
Engineer. Each grid shall have a plat size of 30 inches by 40 inches,
which will be equivalent to 1,500 feet by 2,000 feet, and shall be
submitted on sheets 36 inches by 48 inches. The overall drainage plan
shall consist of the topography maps showing existing conditions prior
to development, proposed development and as-built conditions. The
