Subdivision Regulation Waiver
Description: Upon petition, the Town Board may modify certain requirements in the Town's land division regulations (Chapter 480).

Decision-maker(s): Town Board makes the final decision

Review Procedures
  1. Request. The petitioner submits a written request for a waiver or modification to the town clerk. In the written request for the waiver or modification, the petitioner shall specify the specific provision that the petitioner requests the town to waive or modify, and petitioner's reasons for requesting the same.
  2. Referral to Town Board. Upon receipt of a written request for a waiver or modification, the town clerk shall, within a reasonable time, place the matter on a Town Board agenda for review and action.
  3. Considerations. The Town Board shall make a determination, which shall include consideration, but not necessarily an affirmative finding, of the following factors:
a. Whether the request for a waiver or modification, if granted, would be consistent with the general intent of this chapter and applicable statutory requirements.
b. Whether the request for a waiver or modification, if granted, would adversely affect property owners in the surrounding area.
c. Whether the request for a waiver or modification, if granted, would benefit the petitioner's project in a way that is not inconsistent with the town's interests.
d. Whether petitioner is in full compliance with applicable ordinances and agreements with the town.
e. Whether, instead of granting the request for a waiver or modification, the ordinance itself should be changed to accommodate the kind of situation presented by the petitioner.
f. Any other factor that may be relevant to the matter.

Notes

1. In order for an application to be heard on a given meeting date, the application (including forms, fees, plans, reports, etc.) must be submitted AND deemed complete by Town staff on or before the corresponding submittal date. Because of that, you may want to submit your application before the submittal date. That way, we may be able to let you know if anything is missing and you'll have some time to perhaps get it done before the deadline.

2. Meeting dates and their corresponding submittal dates are subject to change.
