The proposed name and location of the development,
the name of the subdivider and the name and stamp of the professional
engineer, land surveyor, land planner or landscape architect who has
designed and prepared the subdivision plans.
Existing streets, buildings, easements, water
bodies, streams and drainage channels, floodplain and base flood elevations,
railroads and other pertinent natural features such as wetlands, outstanding
trees and outlines of densely wooded areas.
A preliminary grading and drainage system plan
indicating, in general terms, a proposal for an adequate system of
grading and necessary drainage structures to carry off and store or
discharge the stormwater runoff and natural drainage water which originates
not only within the subdivision's boundaries but also that which originates
beyond the subdivision's boundaries and flows into it.
All rights-of-way, easements, street center-line
gradients in percent, with arrows to indicate the direction of flow,
and critical street center-line grades shall be shown.
The complete drainage system for the entire
subdivision shall be shown graphically with all existing drainage
features which are to be incorporated, properly identified as existing.
Hydraulic computations indicating the adequacy
of design shall be presented for all facilities, including computations
indicating the ability of the existing or new downstream stormwater
facilities to accept the additional anticipated flow.
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) consistent with the requirements of Articles I and II of Chapter 171, Erosion and Sediment Control, shall be required for preliminary subdivision plat approval. The SWPPP shall meet the performance and design criteria and standards in Article II of Chapter 171, Erosion and Sediment Control. The approved preliminary subdivision plat shall be consistent with the provisions of Chapter 171, Erosion and Sediment Control.
Proposed streets and utilities indicating those
which are to be public and those which are to be private. When a street
is proposed to be located between existing buildings, cross-section
drawings shall be provided to determine the effect, if any, of the
new street on the contiguous buildings. The drawings shall show 25
cross sections, extending 50 feet on each side of the proposed street
right-of-way from the proposed intersection to 50 feet beyond the
rear property line(s) of the contiguous buildings.
Expansive off-site drainage areas
may be indicated on a scaled map other than one inch equals 50 feet
and at contour intervals of 10 feet when this data clearly identifies
the drainage areas and is approved by the Town Engineer and the Planning
Board.
The scale of the drawings shall not be greater than
50 feet to the inch. If more than one sheet is required, a clearly
drawn match line shall be shown on each sheet.
Temporary staking. In order to facilitate field inspection
and review of the site of the proposed subdivision, temporary staking
along the center line of all proposed roads in the subdivision may
be required by the Planning Board.
Soil tests. Soil tests conducted according to the
most recent standards, set up by the New York State Health Department,
if the proposed subdivision lacks public sewer and/or public water.
SEQR lead agency determination. The Planning Department
will contact other interested permitting agencies to determine that
the Planning Board will act as lead agency for the SEQR process.
Staff review. A member of the Planning Department
and the Engineering Department will meet with the subdivider to discuss
the agency reviews. A copy of such reviews will be given to the subdivider.
Planning Board review. The Planning Board will review
the preliminary plans and the comments from the review agencies. Upon
the completion of the Planning Board reviews, the Planning Board's
comments will be sent to the subdivider.
Revisions. If needed, the preliminary plans shall
be revised to incorporate the recommendations made by the review agencies
and the Planning Board. The revised plans shall be submitted to the
Planning Department. The revised plans shall be reviewed by the Planning
Department and the Engineering Department. The Planning Department
shall forward the revised plans and recommendations to the Planning
Board.
Public hearing. The Planning Board will call a public
hearing on all preliminary plans that are to be considered for approval.
The hearing date shall be at least two weeks after the date the hearing
was called. The hearing shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper
of general circulation at least five days prior to the hearing. A
Town of Union sign shall be posted on the property before the hearing,
stating that a public hearing will be held. The subdivider or a representative
should attend the hearing.
As a result of the public hearing, the Planning Board
may require additional information and the plans may have to be revised
to address the concerns raised by the public. Information and/or revised
plans shall be submitted to the Planning Department. The information
and/or revised plans shall be reviewed by the Planning Department
and the Engineering Department. The Planning Department shall forward
the information and/or revised plans and recommendations to the Planning
Board.
If the Planning Board determines that the revised plans are significantly different from the plans presented at the public hearing, the procedure in Subsection I shall be followed. If the revised plans are not significantly different from the plans presented at the public hearing, the Planning Board will act on the plans. The Planning Board will either approve, approve with conditions or disapprove the preliminary plans.
If the plans are approved with conditions, the conditions
shall be incorporated in the final plans or such revisions made to
the preliminary plans, as appropriate. If the plans are disapproved,
the Planning Board shall state its reasons in writing.
Subdivision of land. No parcel of land included in
an approved preliminary plan shall be divided into two or more lots,
plots or other divisions of land without the approval of the Planning
Board.
