Pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of
the Town Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board is hereby
authorized and empowered to approve plats showing lots, blocks or
sites with or without streets or highways and to approve preliminary
plats within that part of the Town of Olive outside the limits of
any incorporated city or village.
It is declared to be the policy of the Planning
Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan for the
orderly, efficient and economical development of the town. In order
that land subdivisions may be in accordance with this policy, these
regulations, which shall be known as and which may be cited as the
"Town of Olive Subdivision Regulations," have been adopted.
Should any of these regulations conflict or
be inconsistent with any provision of the Town Law and town highway
specifications, such provisions of the Town Law and town highway specifications
shall apply.
The Planning Board may waive the provision of any or all such improvements and requirements as in its judgment of the special circumstances of a particular plat or plats are not requisite in the interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare, or which in its judgment are inappropriate because of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity to the subdivision or would cause unusual hardship, provided the public interest is protected and the development is in keeping with the general spirit and intent of these regulations, the Official Map, Chapter 155, Zoning, and the Town Development Plan, if such exist. An aggrieved party or abutting property owner has the right to appeal the waiver to the Town Board or its authorized agent.
Where a subdivision plat filed in the office
of the County Clerk is entirely or partially undeveloped, the Planning
Board may require those portions which are entirely or partially undeveloped
to be replatted and improved to the standards and requirements of
these subdivision regulations and in accordance with § 265-a
of the Town Law.
For a resubdivision, the same procedure, rules
and regulations shall apply as are applied for a subdivision.
