mobile home park in accordance with the following procedures:
A.
Sketch layout procedure.
(1)
Whenever a mobile home park is proposed, the developer
shall prepare and submit to the Planning Board three copies of a sketch layout
of the proposed park development. The purpose of this step is to afford the
developer an opportunity to consult early and informally with the Planning
Board in order to save time and money and to make the most of opportunities
for desirable development.
(2)
Before preparing a sketch layout, the developer may discuss
with the Planning Board or the Town Engineer the general requirements as to
design of streets, reservations of land, drainage, sewerage, water supply,
fire protection and other improvements, as well as procedural matters. Developers
of land adjoining state or county highways are advised to consult with the
District Engineer of the New York State Department of Transportation or the
County Director of Public Works at the sketch layout stage in order to resolve
problems of street openings or stormwater drainage at the earliest possible
stage in the design process.
(3)
The Planning Board shall study the sketch plan in connection
with the topography of the area, existing requirements of the Zoning Ordinance,
the Comprehensive Plan and the Town Official Map, if any, and shall take into
consideration the general requirements of the Town and surrounding community.
Particular attention shall be given to the suitability of the land for development,
the layout of proposed streets to make sure that adequate provision has been
made for accommodating the prospective traffic, provisions for stormwater
drainage and the adequacy of proposed sites for parks, playgrounds and other
community facilities.
(4)
If the sketch layout of the plat is complete and satisfactory,
the Planning Board may schedule a public information meeting within 45 days
from the time of submission of the proposal for sketch plan approval.
(5)
Not more than 45 days following the submission of the
sketch layout, the Planning Board shall convey a written report to the developer
containing its conclusions and recommendations concerning the design of the
proposed park. One copy of the sketch layout shall be returned to the developer
with the report; the other copies shall be retained by the Planning Board.
Copies of minutes of the relevant meetings shall be sufficient written reports.
(6)
The sketch layout shall comply with the following requirements:
(a)
The sketch layout shall be drawn on paper or other suitable
material at a standard scale of not more than 200 feet to one inch.
(b)
It shall show the following information:
[1]
The title of the sketch, including the name and address
of the developer.

to the Planning Board for all proposed mobile home parks. The preliminary
layout shall comply with the requirements made by the Planning Board in its
report on the sketch layout, if any.
(2)
Five copies of the preliminary layout and supplementary
material specified shall be submitted to the Planning Board at least 14 days
prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered.
(3)
The Planning Board shall review the preliminary layout
in connection with the recommendations made during the sketch plan stage.
Particular attention shall be given to the suitability of the land for development,
the layout of proposed streets to make sure that adequate provision has been
made for accommodating the prospective traffic, provisions for stormwater
drainage and the adequacy of proposed sites for parks, playgrounds and other
community facilities.
(4)
Within 45 days after the meeting at which preliminary
layout has been submitted, the Planning Board shall act upon it. The Planning
Board's action shall be in the form of a written report to the developer stating
whether or not the preliminary layout is conditionally approved. A copy of
the appropriate minutes of the Planning Board meeting shall be a sufficient
report. The Planning Board's report may include recommendations as to desirable
revisions to be incorporated in the final plat. If the preliminary layout
is disapproved, the Planning Board's report will contain the reasons for such
findings. In such a case, the Planning Board may recommend further study of
the proposed development and resubmission of the preliminary layout to the
Planning Board after it has been revised or redesigned.
(5)
The preliminary layout shall conform to the following:

The Planning Board will be guided in its consideration
of the final plat by the following procedures and requirements:
(a)
The final plat shall conform substantially to the preliminary
layout that has received conditional approval from the Planning Board. It
should incorporate any revisions or other features that may have been required
by the Planning Board at the preliminary layout stage, and all such compliances
shall be clearly indicated by the developer on the appropriate submission.
If the developer wishes to develop the mobile home park in stages, he may
prepare and submit a final plat for a portion of the area encompassed by the
preliminary layout, provided that the proposed development stages were indicated
on the preliminary layout reviewed by the Planning Board.
