A. 
In the event that at any time prior to final approval or final disapproval of any plat submitted the subdivider shall protest in writing to the Planning Board any interpretation of the regulations it feels is erroneous or that any requirement of the Board is burdensome, arbitrary or constitutes an undue hardship, the Board will authorize the Commissioner of Public Works to meet with the engineer for the subdivider, and the two so chosen shall pick a third person, and the two engineers and the third person shall make a decision which the Board will follow.
B. 
The foregoing Subsection shall not apply to any provisions of the chapter covered by specific regulations contained therein, and is intended to apply only to rules of interpretation and matters of Board discretion.
C. 
Before the municipality will authorize its commissioner of Public Works to take any action in connection with this proceeding, the subdivider will pay to the Board the reasonable expenses to be incurred, as estimated by its engineer, and in addition thereto an amount to be determined by the Board, out of which they will pay any other expenses of the proceedings, and return the balance, if any, to the subdivider.
D. 
Upon payment of such expenses, the municipality will forward in writing a copy of the protest to its Commissioner of Public Works and to the engineer of the subdivider, who shall immediately proceed, and the engineers and the third person so chosen by them shall file a determination with the Board within 10 days of the date of the notice in writing to said engineers. In the event that no determination is filed within 10 days, the Board shall proceed as if no protest had been made.
A. 
Any officer, department, board, or bureau of the municipality, with the approval of the Town Board, or any person or persons, jointly or severally aggrieved by any decision of the Planning Board concerning a plat decision, may bring a proceeding to review in the manner provided by Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules in a court of record on the ground that such decision is illegal, in whole or in part. Such proceeding must be commenced within 30 days after the filing of the decision in the office of the Board.
B. 
Commencement of the proceeding shall stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from.

If, upon the hearing, it shall appear to the court that testimony is necessary for the proper disposition of the matter, it may take evidence or appoint a referee to take such evidence as it may direct and report the same to the court with his findings of fact and conclusions of law, which shall constitute a part of the proceedings upon which the determination of the court shall be made. The court may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the decision brought up for review.
