A.
The final plat and supporting material for proposed
subdivision constitute the complete submission of the subdivision
proposal and include recommendations resulting from the Planning Board's
review of the preliminary plat and public hearing held thereon, as
well as a review of the detailed layout drawings for the public improvements.
In accordance with § 276 of the Town Law, as amended, the
Planning Board shall hold a public hearing on the final plat if the
Planning Board deems it not to be in substantial agreement with the
approved preliminary plat and may require further review under the
provisions of SEQRA. No public hearing need be held where the Planning
Board deems the final plat to be in substantial agreement with the
preliminary plat. After final plat approval by the Planning Board,
this complete submission becomes the basis for the construction of
the subdivision. The plat itself must be recorded at the office of
the County Clerk to have legal status. If the final plat will be filed
with the County Clerk in more than one section, the approved final
plat of the entire subdivision will be filed with the Town Clerk.
[Amended 6-26-1993 by L.L. No. 21-1993]

costs incurred by the Town for all consulting services it may reasonably
seek to engage, including, but not limited to: archaeological, engineering,

of a proposed subdivision. Such amount deemed necessary for escrow
shall be reasonably related to costs attendant to the Town’s
