Any approval of plats granted or obtained hereunder
shall expire 90 days from the date of same unless such plat or a section
thereof shall have been duly filed or recorded by the owner in the
Nassau County Clerk's office within such ninety-day period and the
proposed development of such plat completed or any required bond therefor
posted. In the discretion of the Planning Board, an owner may be authorized
to file his approved plat in sections, as provided by law. Should an approval expire as herein provided, a new application,
including payment of filing fee, shall be required.
Subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Planning Board may retain the services of an inspector and/or a consulting engineer to assist in a determination as to the progress of work, satisfactory completion of improvements required by the Planning Board and compliance with the provisions of Chapter
112, Subdivision of Land, and these rules and regulations. The fee for such services shall be as set forth in Chapter
A142, Schedule of Fees, and shall be paid by the applicant prior to final approval of a subdivision plat.
Upon completion of all work, and before any
bond may be released, the following shall be complied with:
A. The owner's surveyor shall certify that the work as
contemplated has been fully completed in accordance with all plans
submitted and the specifications of the Village of Sea Cliff pertaining
to public improvements within the limits of the subdivision. The certification
shall include a statement that all monuments as shown on the filed
map of the subdivision are in place and properly located.
B. Proof shall be submitted that all taxes have been
paid on any property being deeded to the Village of Sea Cliff, and
title to such property shall be certified by an approved title company.
C. The Planning Board shall determine, upon inspection,
that all of the required improvements have been constructed in accordance
with the approved specifications.
Nothing contained herein shall, or is intended
to, limit or reduce the provisions or requirements of the Village
Law relating to the approval of subdivision plats. In the event of conflict between said Village Law and
these regulations, the Village Law shall control.
Where practical difficulties or hardships will
be caused, the Planning Board may approve a subdivision in variance
with these rules and regulations, provided that the granting of such
variance protects the interest of the Village of Sea Cliff and the
general welfare of the community. When the proposed subdivision or
plat is of minor importance and is in locality where conditions are
well-known and well-defined, the Planning Board may relax the above
requirements to the extent deemed just and proper.
