By authority of Article 7 of the Village Law, as amended, and the resolution
adopted by the Village Board on September 16, 1960, pursuant thereto, the

subdivision of land within the Village and, pursuant to Section 1610 of the
County Government Law of Nassau County, as amended, of land within 300 feet
of the boundaries of the Village of Matinecock.
For the purpose of providing for the future growth and development of
the Village and affording adequate facilities for the housing, transportation,
distribution, comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of its population,
the Board of Trustees has authorized and empowered the Planning Board to approve
plats and the development of plats entirely or partially undeveloped and which
have been filed in the office of the Clerk of Nassau County prior to the appointment
of the Planning Board and the grant to such Board of the power to approve
plats.
No person, firm or corporation proposing to make or having made a subdivision,
as defined herein, within the territorial limits of the Village of Matinecock
shall make any contract for the sale or shall offer to sell such subdivision
or any part thereof or shall proceed with any development, as defined herein,
until he or it has obtained from the Planning Board of the Village of Matinecock
approval of the proposed subdivision and/or development pursuant to the procedure
outlined in these regulations.
Whenever access to the subdivision can be had only across land in another
municipality, the Planning Board may request assurance from the Village Attorney
that an access road has been legally established and shall ascertain that
such access road is adequately improved or that a performance bond has been
duly executed and is sufficient in amount to assure the construction of the
access road. In general, lot lines shall be laid out so as not to cross Village
boundary lines.
For a resubdivision, the same procedure, rules and regulations shall
apply as for a subdivision.
