A.
When any subdivision of land is proposed to be made
and to avoid violation of § 334 of the Real Property Law,
before any contract for the sale of land or any offer to sell such
subdivision or any part thereof is made or any grading, clearing,
construction or other improvement is undertaken therein, the subdivider
shall apply to the Board for approval. Before filing a formal application
for preliminary approval of a subdivision, the subdivider shall make
an appointment to meet with the Planning Board at one of its regular
meetings for an informal discussion of his rough sketch plan. Two
weeks in advance of a regular Planning Board meeting, the developer
shall submit proposed sketch plans to the Village Engineer. Unless
the Village Engineer receives the rough sketch plans two weeks prior
to the regular Planning Board meeting, the Village Engineer will not
schedule a meeting with the Planning Board.
B.
The sketch plan submitted to the Planning Board shall
be based on Tax Map information or some other similarly accurate base
map at a scale (preferably not less than 200 feet to the inch) to
enable the entire tract to be shown on one sheet. The sketch prepared
by a licensed engineer for developments shall indicate the following:
(1)
A boundary map of the entire holding indicating the
location of that portion which is to be subdivided in relation to
the entire tract and the distance to the nearest existing street intersection.
(2)

20 feet based on United States Geological Survey data which may be
obtained from field survey United States Geological Survey final source,
as approved by the Engineer.

owners as disclosed by the most recent Assessor's tax records.
(4)

2,000 feet to indicate the relationship of the proposed project to
significant existing community facilities which will serve or influence
the layout, such as major traffic arteries, shopping areas, schools,
parks, employment centers, churches, etc. This map shall be drawn
to a scale suitable to indicate the above features, as well as the
North point, scale and date.
(9)
Existing drainage features (e.g., culverts, marshes,
ponds and streams) within the portion to be developed and within 200
feet thereof.
(10)
The zoning district, school district or special
improvement areas.
(11)
Acreage of each land use and proposed density.
C.
The Planning Board shall study the rough sketch plan and the rough sketch of the vicinity map in connection with the topography of the area, Comprehensive Plan and Official Map, if any, Chapter 310, Zoning, and general requirements of the community and best use of the land proposed to be subdivided and shall determine whether the proposals do or do not meet the objectives of this Part 2 and the provisions of the Village Law relating to planning.
Unless waived by the Planning Board, the subdivider
shall submit a preliminary layout prepared by a licensed professional
engineer which shall consist of one or more maps or drawings with
