§ 174-11. Preliminary plat procedural requirements.

A. 

Preliminary plats shall be clearly identified on the plats as being preliminary.

B. 

Approvals of preliminary plats shall include a description of what is being approved.

C. 

Within five business days of the adoption of the resolution granting approval or disapproval of a preliminary plat, it shall be certified by the Secretary of the Planning Board as having been granted or denied preliminary approval, and a copy of such resolution shall be filed in the office of the Town Clerk. A copy of the resolution approving or disapproving the plat shall be included in the Planning Board's minutes and a copy mailed to the applicant.

D. 

If preliminary plat drawings are not submitted to the Town Development Office for required signatures within six months of the Planning Board vote to approve said plat, the Planning Board may revoke the preliminary plat approval only after finding that field conditions on or around the subject property and/or applicable regulations in existence at the time of the vote to approve have changed significantly and to such extent that reconsideration of the preliminary plat is warranted.

E. 

In the event the Planning Board fails to take action on a preliminary plat within the time prescribed by Town Law § 276, as amended, the plat shall be deemed approved, and a certificate of the Town Clerk as to the date of submission and the failure to take action within such a prescribed time shall be issued on demand and shall be sufficient in lieu of written endorsement or other evidence of approval herein required.
