After approval of the preliminary plat plan and compliance with all conditions of said approval, as provided in §
220-2.08 of this chapter, the applicant shall prepare and submit the proposed final plat, drainage and road plans and profiles and other documents required by this section. After approval by the Planning Board following a public hearing and after acceptance by the Town Board of any required performance bond and any easements submitted pursuant to § 247 of the General Municipal Law, the final plat and associated documents become the basis for construction of the subdivision. The plat must be recorded in the Suffolk County Clerk's office before any actual construction may begin, except that minimal access may be approved by the Planning Board for equipment necessary to the drilling of such test holes as are required by this chapter and for any test well required by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services.
Within 45 days after the applicant has made the complete final submission, the Planning Board will hold a public hearing, notice of which shall be advertised in the official town newspaper at least 10 days prior to such hearing. The applicant shall notify by certified mail all adjoining property owners at least 10 days prior to the public hearing and shall file with the Planning Board an affidavit giving the names of those notified and the date mailed. The applicant shall also post the property in the same manner as required in §
220-2.08H(3) of this chapter. Within 45 days after the public hearing, the Planning Board will approve, conditionally approve with modifications, or disapprove the final plat. When there is no substantial difference between the submission for final approval and the submission that has received preliminary approval, the Planning Board may waive, within 45 days of the receipt of complete final submission the requirements for holding a public hearing on final submission. The time periods provided in this section may be extended by the Board with the mutual consent of the applicant or for good cause pursuant to SEQRA.
[Amended 12-3-1999 by L.L. No. 33-1999]
A. Prior to obtaining the Planning Board Chairman's or
Vice Chairman's signature on the final plat, the developer shall have
met all conditions of plat approval which, by the terms of the Planning
Board's resolution, are prerequisite to the signing of the plat.
B. The Planning Board shall expressly set forth, in any
resolution granting approval to a final subdivision, the Board's conformance
to any recommendations made by the Fire Department or district having
jurisdiction or, if the Board's approval does not conform to such
recommendations, the reasons therefor.
Conditional approval of a final plat is the
approval of a final plat subject to conditions set forth in the resolution
approving such a plat. Such conditional approval does not qualify
the final plat for recording nor authorize issuance of building permits
prior to recording of the plat in the County Clerk's office. The applicant
shall have 180 days from the adoption of such resolution of conditional
approval to meet the conditions; and the Planning Board may extend
this time for no more than two additional periods of 90 days each.
The conditionally approved final plat shall not be filed until all
conditions have been met.
Approval shall expire 30 days after the date
of the signing of the final plat by a duly authorized officer of the
Board.
The approved final plat shall be filed in the
Suffolk County Clerk's office within 30 days after the plat has been
signed by an authorized officer of the Planning Board.
