A.
It is intended by this chapter to change or supersede
the provisions of § 7-736, Subdivision 2, of the Village
Law. The parts of said section hereby changed and superseded are indicated
by printing the new matter intended to be added by this article in
boldface as follows:
"No permit for the erection of any building
shall be issued unless a street or highway giving access to such proposed
structure has been duly placed on the Official Map or Plan, or if
there be no Official Map or Plan, unless such street or highway is
(a) an existing state, county, town or Village highway or (b) a street
shown upon a plat approved by the Planning Board as provided under
the provisions of this article, as in effect at the time such plat
was approved or (c) a street on a plat duly filed and recorded in
the office of the county clerk or register prior to the appointment
of such Planning Board and the grant to such Board of the power to
approve plats; and no permit for the erection of any shall be issued
unless all Village taxes which are a lien on and all Village assessments
which have been assessed against the real property on which said building
is to be erected are first paid in full, together with all interest
and other charges. Before such permit shall be issued, said street
or highway shall have been suitably improved to the satisfaction of
the Planning Board in accordance with standards and specifications
approved by the appropriate Village officers as adequate in respect
to the public health, safety and general welfare for the special circumstances
of the particular street or highway or, alternatively, and in the
discretion of such Board, a performance bond sufficient to cover the
full cost of such improvement as estimated by such Board or other
appropriate Village departments designated by such Board shall be
furnished to the Village by the owner. Such performance bond shall
be issued by a bonding or surety company approved by the Board of
Trustees or by the owner with security acceptable to the Board of
Trustees and shall also be approved by the Village Attorney as to
form, sufficiency and manner of execution. The term, manner or modification
and method of enforcement of such bond shall be determined by the
appropriate board in substantial conformity with § 7-730
of this article."
B.
Except as changed and superseded herein, all other
provisions of § 7-736 of the Village Law shall remain in
full force and effect.
