Upon submission of the record subdivision plat to the Commission
for final approval, said Commission shall determine whether such map
corresponds substantially with the approved preliminary map and meets
all the requirements of these regulations. If the Commission shall
approve such record subdivision plat, the fact of such approval and
the date thereof shall be noted on said plat over the signature of
the Chairman or Secretary of the Commission. Said record subdivision
plat shall, within 90 days thereafter, be filed for record in the
office of the Town Clerk of Stratford. The fee for filing such map
shall be paid by the applicant.
A.
No plat of a subdivision of land laid out wholly or partly within
the limits of the Town of Stratford shall be filed or recorded in
the office of the Town Clerk of Stratford until the Commission, except
as otherwise provided by statute, shall have approved such plat and
the fact of such approval is endorsed thereon as provided in the foregoing
section. The provision of this chapter shall not apply to maps made
by a licensed land surveyor for the sole purpose of establishing boundaries
of property already of record or where the same is merely intended
as an outline survey showing only the exterior boundaries of such
unmapped land as has not been divided in violation of these regulations
or of the zoning regulations of the Town of Stratford.
B.
The approval or filing for record of any record subdivision plat
shall not be deemed to constitute, or to be evidence of, an acceptance
by the public of any street or other open public spaces shown on such
plat or map. Such acceptance shall be by formal resolution adopted
by the Town Council, which resolution shall set forth the fact of
such acceptance for public purposes and the width and approximate
length of the streets accepted, together with the designation of the
names by which such streets shall thereafter be known.
If the application and plat are disapproved, the Commission
shall return, without endorsement the original plat as submitted by
the applicant, together with a statement of its reasons for such disapproval.
One print of said plat shall be retained for the records of the Commission.
