[Adopted 10-23-1989 by L.L. No. 5-1989 as Ch. 7, Art. II, of the 1989 Code]
[Amended 9-9-2020 by L.L. No. 20-2020]
Pursuant to the provisions of § 7-718
of the Village Law of the State of New York, a Planning Board of five
members shall be appointed by the Board of Trustees of and for the
Village, and the provisions of § 7-718 of said Village Law
shall govern the appointment and term of office of members hereafter
appointed. In accordance with § 7-718 of the Village Law, there
shall be a maximum of two alternate Planning Board members who shall
be appointed by the Mayor, subject to the approval of the Village
Board, for terms established by the Village Board. Alternate Planning
Board members shall substitute for Planning Board members in the event
any such member is unable to participate in a matter or application
before the Planning Board due to illness, absence or a conflict of
interest. The Chairperson of the Planning Board is authorized to designate
an alternate Planning Board member for a member who is unable to participate.
When so designated, an alternate Planning Board member shall possess
all of the powers and responsibilities of a member of the Planning
Board.
The Village Planning Board shall have and exercise
all the powers conferred upon such Planning Boards by the laws of
the state; provided, however, that the Board of Trustees reserves
to itself the sole and exclusive right to legislate upon any and all
matters pertaining to the zoning ordinances of the Village or amendments
thereto and/or modifications thereof.
Pursuant to the provisions of § 7-728
of the Village Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of
the Village is hereby authorized to approve plats showing new streets
or highways in the Village and, in connection therewith, to employ
all powers and comply with all conditions set forth in Article 7 of
the Village Law of the State of New York, particularly with respect
to § 7-730 thereof and any amendments thereto.
The Village authority or department or official
having final jurisdiction of any matter in which the Village Planning
Board also has jurisdiction in accordance with such Article 7 of the
Village Law of the State of New York shall not proceed to final action
until the Planning Board has made its final report thereon to such
authority, department or officer, but if such Planning Board shall
not have made its report within two months from the date of the reference
thereto, the authority, department or officer of the Village having
final jurisdiction may proceed to final action. This section shall
not be construed to prevent the Village Board from granting, in any
specific case, a longer period as it may fix within which the Planning
Board may make its report, and if such longer period is granted, the
authority, department or officer having final jurisdiction shall not,
in the absence of such report, proceed to final action until that
extended period has elapsed.
