For making application to the Planning Board for approval of a subdivision, the subdivider presumably will consult with other parties potentially interested in the development, such as lending and mortgage insurance institutions, with a view toward reaching firm conclusions regarding what part of the market demand should be served, the suitability of the proposed location and the most advantageous subdivision plan. The subdivider is advised to engage a land planning specialist qualified to help him resolve the major factors into a workable and profitable subdivision plan. Inasmuch as the approval of the Erie County Health Department is required for any subdivision containing five or more lots, early consultation with the Health Department is advisable.
