A. 
The final plat and supporting drawings and documents for a proposed subdivision constitute the complete development of the subdivision proposal and include the recommendations resulting from the Planning Board review of the preliminary plat, as well as the detailed layout drawings for the public improvements and utilities. After public hearing and approval by the Planning Board, this complete submission, along with the performance bond and the provision of the liability insurance policy, as approved by the Village Board of Trustees, becomes the basis for the construction of the subdivision and the inspection service by the Village Engineer and Planning Board. The plat itself must be recorded at the county register's office to have legal status. An unrecorded plat is not valid basis for site improvements or other commitments which depend on its design characteristics.
B. 
The plat itself shall be an accurate survey record of the properties resulting from the subdivision.
[Amended 12-21-2004 by L.L. No. 13-2004; 10-6-2009 by L.L. No. 4-2009; 10-7-2020 by L.L. No. 3-2020]
The Planning Board shall follow procedures as prescribed by Article 7, § 7-728, of the Village Law and by this chapter.
A. 
The submission of a final plat (before Planning Board review) shall consist of the following items:
(1) 
Application for the subdivision of land, as prescribed by the Planning Board.
(2) 
The final plat, three paper prints, including signed approval from the Westchester County Department of Health.
B. 
If the subdivision of land occurs within 500 feet of the Village boundary, a copy of the preliminary plat shall be sent by the Planning Board Secretary to the appropriate municipal official of the adjoining community.
C. 
Prior to final action, the Planning Board shall refer any matter involving any of the areas in accordance with §§ 277.61 and 277.71 of the Westchester County Administrative Code and §§ 239-l, 239-m and 239-n of the New York State General Municipal Law to the Westchester County Planning Board.
D. 
The applicant must supply the proper documentation and forms that are applicable to Chapter 118, Environmental Quality Review, and Chapter 262, Local Waterfront Consistency, of this Code and 6 NYCRR Part 617, State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR).
E. 
When no preliminary plat is required to be submitted, a final plat shall not be considered complete until a negative declaration has been filed or until a notice of completion of the draft environmental impact statement has been filed in accordance with the provisions of the State Environmental Quality Review Act.[1] The time periods for review of a preliminary plat shall begin upon filing of such negative declaration or such notice of completion.

Editor's Note: See Environmental Conservation Law § 8-0101 et seq.
F. 
The Village will advertise a public hearing at least 10 days prior to the hearing date. In addition to such published notice, the Planning Board shall cause such notice to be mailed at least 10 days before the hearing to all owners of property which lay within 300 feet of any boundary line of the property which is the subject matter of the application and to such other owners as the Planning Board may deem advisable. The names of said owners shall be taken as they appear on the last completed tax roll of the Village. Provided that due notice shall have been published as required by law and that there shall have been substantial compliance with the remaining provisions of this section, the failure to give notice in exact conformance herewith shall not be deemed to invalidate action taken by the Planning Board in connection with such application.
G. 
Public hearing on final plats. The time within which the Planning Board shall hold a public hearing on the final plat shall be coordinated with any hearings the Planning Board may schedule pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act,[2] as follows:
(1) 
If such board determines that the preparation of an environmental impact statement on the final plat is not required, the public hearing on such plat shall be held within 62 days after the receipt of a complete final plat by the Clerk of the Planning Board; or
(2) 
If such board determines that an environmental impact statement is required, and a public hearing on the draft environmental impact statement is held, the public hearing on the final plat and the draft environmental impact statement shall be held jointly within 62 days after the filing of the notice of completion of such draft environmental impact statement in accordance with the provisions of the State Environmental Quality Review Act. If no public hearing is held on the draft environmental impact statement, the public hearing on the final plat shall be held within 62 days of filing the notice of completion.
