A. 
Subdivisions applications of minor concern and consequence, that comply with the criteria set forth in § 292-6, shall not require preliminary plat review and the subdivider may submit a final plat application based upon the Planning Board's determination at preapplication.
B. 
The Planning Board shall have the option to hold a public hearing on the plat depending on the degree of interest shown by the public or interested agencies; the need for important and informative comment by certain interest groups, technical specialists or community representatives; and whether the subdivider needs further opportunity to present the subdivision to the Planning Board and/or public. The Planning Board shall, however, hold a public hearing on the final plat where said plat is not in substantial agreement with the Planning Board preapplication report or where the plat is a planned residential development or where the minor review is authorized under the criteria of § 292-6A(3) or where a wetlands permit is required pursuant to Chapter 325 of the Town Code. Where no hearing is to be held, the Planning Board shall provide notice of a complete application by posting said notice at the Planning Board office and on the Town Clerk's signboard and accept written public comment for a reasonable time thereafter.
[Amended 3-22-1994 by L.L. No. 15-1994]

The plat itself must be recorded at the office of the County Clerk to have legal status.
D. 
The final plat shall be an accurate survey of the properties resulting from the subdivision.

(7) 
No application for final plat approval shall be deemed complete until either a negative declaration has been made for the application pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) as implemented by Chapter 157 of the Town Code or, if a positive declaration is made, until a draft environmental impact statement has been accepted by the Planning Board as satisfactory with respect to scope, content and adequacy. Reasonable time shall be provided for compliance with SEQR, including the preparation of a final environmental impact statement.
(8) 
If the subject property is located within 200 feet of wetlands, the applicant shall determine, through the Natural Resources Department, if a wetlands permit is required pursuant to Chapter 325 of the Town Code for the subdivision or any improvements thereon and which Town agency is the approving authority for said permit. If the approving authority is the Planning Board, then the application for a wetlands permit shall be filed with the Town Clerk. The Planning Board shall not consider an application for a final plat approval complete until an application for a wetlands permit has been filed with the Town Clerk and said application has been directed by the Town Clerk to the Planning Board. Upon receipt of the wetlands application and all other submission requirements as provided in this article, the Planning Board shall consider the combined application in accordance with the provisions of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR). Upon compliance with the provisions of SEQR in accordance with Subsection A(7) above, the Planning Board shall schedule a combined public hearing on the wetlands application and the final plat. After the public hearing is closed on said application, the Planning Board shall, within the prescribed time limits set forth in this chapter and Town Law § 276, either approve, approve with modifications or deny said combined application either in whole or in part.
