Where utilities required by the Planning Board are to be installed by
a public utility company or Town improvement district, the Planning Board
may accept assurance from the public utility company or improvement district,
in writing, that such installation will be furnished by the company or improvement
district within a specified period of time and in accordance with the approved
construction plans.
The applicant shall be required to maintain all improvements and provide
for snow removal on streets and sidewalks until acceptance of said improvements
by the Town Board. The applicant shall be required to file a maintenance bond
with the Town Board, prior to dedication, in an amount considered adequate
by the Town Engineer and in a form satisfactory to the Town Attorney in order
to assure the satisfactory condition of the required improvements for a period
of one year after the date of their acceptance by the Town Board.
Acceptance of formal offers of cession of streets, easements and parks
shall rest with the Town Board. In the event that the applicant shall elect
not to file the plat in the office of the County Clerk within the sixty-two-day
period required by law, then such formal offers of cession shall be deemed
to be void. The approval by the Planning Board of a subdivision plat shall
not be deemed to constitute or imply the acceptance by the Town of any street,
easement or park shown on said plat. The Planning Board may require said plat
to be endorsed with appropriate notes to this effect.
The Planning Board may waive at the time of final approval, subject
to appropriate conditions, the provisions of any or all such improvements
as in its judgment are not requisite in the interests of the public health,
safety and general welfare or which are inappropriate because of inadequacy
or lack of connecting facilities.
Where a permit is desired for the occupancy of a building in the subdivision,
prior to the completion of the improvements as required in the Planning Board's
approval of the subdivision plat, the street serving the proposed building
shall be completed to a degree satisfactory to the Town Engineer and Town
Superintendent of Highways. In general, the extent of said street improvement
shall be adequate for vehicular access by the prospective occupant and by
police and fire equipment, prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. Where
such permit has been issued, the street shall be maintained in suitable condition.
