Procedure for administrative review of minor subdivisions.
Sketch plan submission and determination. Any owner of land may, prior to subdivision or resubdividing land, submit to the Secretary of the Administrative Review Panel two copies of a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision, which shall comply with the requirements of § 104-11C(1) for the purposes of classification and preliminary discussion.
Within 10 working days, the Town Planner shall make a determination as to the classification of the sketch plan (i.e., minor or major subdivision). A copy of the determination shall be forwarded to the Planning Board. If the sketch plan is classified as a minor subdivision, the subdivider shall then comply with the procedure outlined in § 104-11C(2) of these regulations. If it is classified as a major subdivision, the subdivider shall then comply with the procedures outlined in Subsection A(1) through (5) of these regulations.
Following the determination, the sketch plan shall be forwarded to the Administrative Review Panel for review and discussion.
Sketch plan review by the Administrative Review Panel. The subdivider, or his duly authorized representative, shall discuss the requirements and regulations for street improvements, drainage, sewerage, water supply, fire protection and similar aspects, as well as the availability of existing services, and other pertinent information with the Town Planner, Town Engineer and Town Building Official at a scheduled administrative review session. Within five days from the scheduled meeting, the Administrative Review Panel shall determine whether the sketch plan meets the purposes of these regulations and shall, where it deems it necessary, make specific recommendations, in writing, to be incorporated by the applicant in plat development. The Administrative Review Panel may require, however, when it deems it necessary for protection of the public health, safety and welfare, that a minor subdivision comply with all or some of the requirements specified for major subdivisions.
Final plat application and fee.
Within six months after the determination of the Administrative Review Panel, the subdivider shall submit an application for review and approval of a subdivision plat to the Secretary of the Administrative Review Panel, 10 days prior to the scheduled administrative review session where the subdivision plat shall be discussed. The plat shall conform to the layout shown on the sketch plan, plus any recommendations made by the Administrative Review Panel. Said application shall also conform to the requirements listed in § 104-11C(2).
All applications for plat approval for minor subdivisions shall be accompanied by a fee of $100, plus $25 per lot or $50 per acre.
Number of copies. An original Mylar, reproducible, and six copies of the subdivision plat shall be presented to the Secretary at the time of submission of the subdivision plat. The plat shall conform to the submission requirements specified in § 104-11C.
Final plat review by the Administrative Review Panel; attendance of the subdivider. The subdivider, or his duly authorized representative, may be requested to attend the meeting of the Administrative Review Panel to discuss the subdivision plat.
When officially submitted. The time of submission of the subdivision plat shall be considered to be the date on which the application for plat approval, complete and accompanied by the required fee and all data required by § 104-11C by these regulations, has been filed with the Secretary of the Administrative Review Panel.
Determination pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process.
Subdivision of land may be subject to the provisions of the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process. The Town Planner should identify the type of action the subdivision is according to SEQR regulations. Depending upon the size of the subdivision and several other factors, it may be a Type I or an unlisted action. To make a decision, the Town Planner should consult Part 617 of Article 8 of Environmental Conservation Law (New York).
If it is determined that any provision of SEQR must be followed or that an environmental impact statement has to be prepared for the proposal in question, all time frames and deadlines are delayed until such process is complete and a draft environmental impact statement has been filed. An application is not complete, and therefore the review clock does not start, until a determination of no significance has been made or until a draft environmental impact statement is completed.
Required referral to Oneida County Department of Planning. Prior to the Planning Board taking final action on the minor subdivision plat the Town Planner shall refer the plat to the County Planning Department for advisory review and a report in accordance with § 239-n of the General Municipal Law, where the proposed action is within a distance of 500 feet from the boundary of any city, village or town, or from the boundary of any existing or proposed county or state park or other recreation area, or from the right-of-way of any existing or proposed county or state parkway, thruway, expressway, road or highway, or from the existing or proposed right-of-way of any stream or drainage channel owned by the county-or for which the county has established channel lines, or from the existing or proposed boundary of any county or state-owned land on which a public building or institution is situated. All time frames are delayed until a response is returned from the county.
Administrative referral and recommendations; final plat. The Administrative Review Panel shall, within 10 working days from the date of the scheduled administrative review session, refer the final plat to the Town Planning Board with recommendations to act to approve, disapprove or approve with modifications. This time may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the Administrative Review Panel. Failure of the review panel to act within such time shall allow the Secretary to refer the final plat with no recommendation.
Planning Board action; final plat. Upon completion of the administrative review process, the final plat will be placed on the next available Planning Board agenda, accompanied by the letter of referral and recommendation by the Administrative Review Panel. The Planning Board can act to conditionally approve, disapprove or grant final approval with a motion, a second and affirmation by a simple majority of its members. Final action must be made within 45 days from the date of referral. This time may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the Planning Board. Failure of the Planning Board to act within such time shall constitute approval of the plat.
Signature and approval. If the Planning Board grants final approval, the Chairman or his designee may sign the subdivision plat constituting final plat approval. If the Planning Board grants conditional approval, the Planning Board Secretary, within five days, shall forward a letter to the applicant, specifying the Board's action and the conditions that must be met prior to final plat approval. The plat will be certified by the Secretary as conditionally approved and a copy mailed to the subdivider with the original maintained by the Planning Department. Upon completion of such requirements, the plat shall be signed by the Planning Board Chairman or his designee. Conditional approval of a plat shall expire 180 days after the date of the letter granting such approval unless the requirements have been certified as completed within that time. The Town Planner may, however, extend the time within which a conditionally approved plat may be submitted for signature if, in his opinion, such extension is warranted in the circumstances, not to exceed two additional periods of 90 days each.
Approval and filing. Upon signature of the plat by the Planning Board Chairman, the plat may be filed by the applicant in the office of the County Clerk and an original Mylar reproducible filed with the town planning office. Any subdivision plat not so filed or recorded within 30 days from the date upon which such plat is approved or considered approved by reasons of the failure of the Planning Board to act shall become null and void.
Plat void if revised after approval. No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions shall be made in any subdivision plat after approval has been given by the Planning Board and endorsed, in writing, on the plat, unless said plat is first resubmitted to the Planning Board and such Board approves any modifications. In the event that any such subdivision plat is recorded without complying with this requirement, the same shall be considered null and void, and the Board shall institute proceedings to have the plat stricken from the records of the County Clerk.
Piecemeal approval prohibited. No pending or approved preliminary plat, conditional final plat, final plat or tract in common or corporate interest shall be allowed to file more than one minor subdivision request within any three-year period.
The arrangement, character, extend, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to the Master Plan and to the Official Map, if any, and shall be considered in its relation to existing and planned streets, topographical conditions, public convenience and safety, and the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets.
