The following procedure is specified for the
guidance of the applicant. Since the development of land affects many
aspects of community growth, the applicant is advised to consult with
officials concerned with engineering, health, assessments, schools,
recreation and other public functions in addition to those designated
in these regulations. The procedure is divided into three mandatory
parts and a fourth part if the applicant is seeking § 278
approval.
In scheduling public hearings and review time
frames on all subdivision plats, the Planning Board shall comply with
the provisions of the State Environmental Quality Review Act under
Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and its implementing
regulations, as set forth in Town Law § 276.
As authorized by the Town Board by resolution dated August 14, 1978, the Planning Board may, at the time of plat approval, modify applicable provisions of Chapter
280, Zoning. Such modification shall be made only for land zoned for single-family purposes and only for such areas of the Town as shall be specified by the Board in its resolution of authorization.
A. If the applicant makes written application for the
use of this procedure it may be followed at the discretion of the
Planning Board, if, in its judgment, its application would benefit
the Town.
B. The applicant shall submit a proposed site plan showing
areas within which structures may be located, the height and spacing
of buildings, open spaces and their landscaping, off-street open and
enclosed parking spaces, streets, driveways, and all other physical
features of the proposed developments. The applicant shall also submit
a statement setting forth the nature of any requested zoning modifications,
changes or supplementations as are not shown on the site plan.
C. In the event that the application of this procedure
results in a plat showing lands available for park, recreation, open
space, or other municipal purposes directly related to the plat, then
the Planning Board as a condition of plat approval may establish such
conditions on the ownership, use, and maintenance of such lands as
it deems necessary to assure the preservation of such lands for their
intended purposes. The Town Board may require that such conditions
shall be approved for recording.
D. On the recording of the plat in the office of the
County Clerk, a copy shall be filed with the Town Clerk, who shall
make appropriate notations and references thereto in the Zoning Ordinance
or Map.
