Filing with Planning Board. Preliminary and final plans
for all proposed subdivisions of land lying within the City limits shall be
filed with the Planning Board for approval.
Consideration of plans and data. Subdivision plans and
supporting data submitted to the Planning Board will be considered at the
Planning Board's next regularly scheduled meeting, provided that they
are received at least 10 calendar days in advance of said meeting. The date
of submission shall be the date of the next regularly scheduled City Planning
Board meeting.
Authority of Planning Board. The initial plan filed with the Planning Board for review shall be considered the official preliminary plan. However, the Planning Board may proceed to final action at the first consideration of a plan for a small subdivision containing no new streets if the plan and supporting data comply with all of the requirements for final plans. (See §§ 225-36 and 225-37.)
Sketch plan; purpose and scope. The subdivider may prepare
a sketch plan for informal discussion with the Planning Board prior to submitting
the official preliminary plan for review. This plan shall be for the purpose
of establishing in advance, if possible, the extent to which the proposed
subdivision conforms to the design standards of this Part 2.
Filing fee. A fee of $10 to defray the cost of subdivision
review shall be paid to the order of the City of Auburn at the filing of the
preliminary plan.
Disposition of copies. The Planning Board Secretary shall
transmit copies of the preliminary plan for review and recommendation by the
following officials within 10 days:
Action by Planning Board. Within 45 days after the meeting
at which the preliminary plan is reviewed, the Planning Board shall notify
the subdivider of the changes and modifications, if any, which must be incorporated
on the final plan before it shall be approved.
Conditional approval. Approval of the preliminary plan,
subject to conditions, revisions and modifications as stipulated by the Planning
Board, shall constitute conditional Planning Board approval of the subdivision
as to the character and intensity of the development and the general layout
and approximate dimensions of streets, lots, and other proposed features.
Waiver of requirements. Should the proposed plan be constituted
of four or fewer lots and involve no new streets, the Planning Board may waive
the general procedure requirements of the preliminary plan.
Time for submission. A final plan with supporting data
shall be submitted to the Planning Board for final approval within one year
after Planning Board action on the preliminary plan, provided that an extension
of time may be granted by the Planning Board upon written request. Otherwise,
the plan submitted shall be considered as a new preliminary plan.
Conformity to preliminary plan. The final plan shall
conform in all important respects to the preliminary plan as previously reviewed
by the Planning Board and shall incorporate all modifications and revisions
specified by the Planning Board in its conditional approval of the preliminary
plan. Otherwise the plan shall be considered as a revised preliminary plan.
Submission in sections. The Planning Board may permit
submission of the final plan in sections, each covering a portion of the entire
proposed subdivision as shown on the preliminary plan.
Action by Planning Board; public hearing required. The
Planning Board shall hold a public hearing within 30 days of the official
submission date and must approve or otherwise act on the plan within 45 days
of the submission date according to General City Law § 32. The official
submission date shall be the date of the next regularly scheduled Planning
Board meeting to follow receipt of the plat (complete and with all supporting
data required by the Planning Board in its action on the preliminary layout),
if received by the Planning Board through its Secretary or receiving agent
at least 10 days prior to such Planning Board meeting.
Notice of hearing required. Upon the official submission
of a final plan for consideration at a regular meeting, the City shall give
notice that a public hearing will be held upon such plan. Public notice of
the hearing shall be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the
City at least five days before such hearing.
Compliance with plan requirements. The final plan and supporting data shall comply with the provisions of §§ 225-36 and 225-37 of this Part 2. Failure to do so shall be cause for tabling the plan.
Number and disposition of copies. Six copies of the final
plan with supporting data shall be submitted to the Planning Board by the
subdivider. The Planning Board Secretary shall transmit copies to:
Notice of approval or disapproval. Within 45 days after
the public hearing on the final plan, the Planning Board shall notify the
subdivider, in writing, of its approval or disapproval.
Recording after approval. Within 90 days after final
approval, the subdivider shall file for recording a copy of the final plan,
or sections thereof, bearing the approval of the Planning Board in writing.
If the final plan is not recorded within such period, the Planning Board's
approval shall expire and become null and void.

plan filed for recording in the office of the County Clerk shall be a clear
