in accordance with and to the extent permitted by Article 7 of the

A.
The Planning Board may prepare and recommend to the

of the entire area of the Village, which Comprehensive Plan shall
show existing and proposed streets, bridges and tunnels and the approaches
thereto, viaducts, parks, public reservations, roadways in parks,
sites for public buildings and structures, zoning districts, pierhead
and bulkhead lines, waterways and routes of public utilities and such
other features existing and proposed as will provide for the protection
and improvement of the Village and its future growth and development,
and will afford adequate facilities for the public housing, transportation,

[Amended 8-17-1999 by L.L. No. 12-1999]
B.
The Planning Board may advertise and hold public hearings
when it desires, notice of which hearings shall be advertised at least
once in a newspaper of general circulation in the Village and by posting
a notice of hearing in at least three prominent places at least five
days before each such hearing.
[Added 6-15-1999 by L.L. No. 7-1999]
The Planning Board may establish, subject to
approval by the Village Board of Trustees, filing and processing fees
to be charged to an applicant and collected by the Planning Board
for services rendered in connection with the work of the Planning
Board for which it is deemed necessary to charge and collect such
fees.
The authority having final jurisdiction over
any matter in which said Planning Board also has jurisdiction in accordance
with the aforementioned laws shall not proceed to such final action
until such Planning Board has made its final report thereon to such
authority, but if such Planning Board shall not have made its final
report thereon within 45 days from the date of reference thereto,
the authority having final jurisdiction may proceed to final action.
This section shall not be construed to prevent the Board of Trustees
from granting, in any specific case, such longer period as it may
fix within which said Board may make its final report, and if such
longer period is granted, the authority having final jurisdiction
shall not, in the absence of such report, proceed to final action
until that longer period shall have elapsed.
