[Amended 3-15-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999]
A.
Sketch plan submittal. Prior to the filing of an application for approval of a preliminary plan, the subdivider shall submit to the Planning Board a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision and supporting data as specified in Article VII. This step does not require a formal application fee or filing of a plat with the Planning Board.
B.
Sketch plan action. Within 30 days of a submittal of a sketch plan, the Planning Board will inform the subdivider that either the sketch plan as submitted, as modified by the Planning Board or with conditions established by the Planning Board, meet the objectives of regulations or, for expressed reasons, it does not meet those objectives.
C.
Preliminary sanitary studies. When the subdivider has received a favorable report on his sketch proposal, he should consult with the County Health Department and any appropriate Town water or sewer district relative to the provision of adequate water supply and sewerage facilities. State legislation requires approval by the County Health Department of sanitary facilities for any subdivision containing five or more lots, and this chapter, in Article V, requires a report from the County Health Department on the sanitary arrangements for any subdivision of less than five lots. It is suggested that the developer not proceed with preparation of his preliminary plat until full agreement has been reached on conditions necessary for providing adequate potable water and provision of adequate sewerage, including the conduct of percolation tests for proposed subsurface leaching beds.
D.
During the course of his preliminary investigation, the subdivider is urged to meet with the Planning Board as often as necessary to clear up any points of doubt.

[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
The Town shall follow provisions in New York State Town Law § 276, relative to subdivision review.
As improvements are installed they shall be inspected by the Town Engineer, who shall be provided by the subdivider with a map showing the as-built location and elevations of the completed improvements as prepared by a licensed professional engineer. Said map, together with a certification of installation by the Town Engineer, shall be filed with the Planning Board prior to the acceptance of any street or release of any bond. The Planning Board may authorize the serial release or reduction of the face value of performance bonds as improvements are installed, but only on approval of the Town Board in accordance with the provisions in § 277 of the Town Law.
[Added at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
All subdivisions are subject to the procedures required by the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR), Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law. The applicant may be required to submit information necessary for compliance with SEQR in addition to information required under this chapter.

(1)
Lot-split subdivision: the division of one lot into multiple conforming lots when all lots front an existing established highway and no new street is created.
(2)
Boundary adjustment subdivision: a subdivision for the purpose of boundary adjustment between two parcels when neither of the parcels to be transferred is sufficiently large to serve as a zoning lot.

(1)
The developer shall submit a request, in writing, for use of the short procedure under the appropriate category listed under Subsection A.

(3)
A designated member of the Planning Board or the Town Road Superintendent or Town Engineer acting for the Board shall have visited the site and reported thereon, particularly with respect to any storm drainage requirements and the adequacy of streets.
(4)
The Planning Board shall, if it considers street and storm drainage provisions to be adequate and the subdivision to be otherwise in keeping with the spirit of this chapter and other Town ordinances, by resolution, authorize the subdivider to dispense with further preapplication procedures and with the preliminary plat procedures and to proceed directly with the final plat procedures. In such instance the subdivider shall note on the plat the following:
