A "lot line change" is the relocation or revision
of a lot line of a lot, which revision is intended to correct minor
boundary problems and is not intended to create a new lot for development
purposes and which revision will result in land area to become part
of an existing adjacent lot or parcel, provided that such lot line
change does not create a parcel at variance with the bulk requirements
of the zone in which such parcel is located.
The applicant shall file an application for
the consideration of a lot line change in the form provided by the
Planning Board. The fees required by the Standard Schedule of Fees
for the Town of Hamptonburgh shall be paid at the time of application
by the applicant.[1] Ten copies of the lot line change plat shall be presented
to the Secretary of the Planning Board at least 15 days prior to a
scheduled monthly meeting of the Planning Board.

Editor's Note: Said Fee Schedule is on file

The applicant or his duly authorized representative
shall attend the meeting of the Planning Board to discuss the lot
line change.
The time of submission of the lot line change
plat shall be considered the date of the regular monthly meeting of
the Planning Board at least 15 days prior to which the application
for lot line change approval, complete and accompanied by the required
fee and all data required by this chapter, has been filed with the
Secretary of the Planning Board.
A public hearing may be held in the discretion
of the Planning Board on all plats submitted in final form within
62 days of their submission to the Planning Board. The hearing must
be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation
in the town at least 5 days and no more than 15 days prior to the

whom the Board deems to be particularly affected.
The Planning Board shall, within 62 days from
the date of any public hearing, approve, conditionally approve, with
or without modification, or disapprove the plat. The Board shall specify,
in writing, its reasons for any such disapproval. In the event that
the hearing is not held, or if the Board fails to disapprove the plat
within the 62 days prescribed above, the plan shall be deemed approved.
Upon approval, the plat shall be properly signed
by the duly authorized person or persons and shall be filed by the

to the Board's Secretary within 30 days of the date of filing.
