§ 249-12. Filing of approved plat.

A. 

Final approval and filing. The signature of the Chairman of the Planning Commission constituting final approval by the Planning Commission of a plat showing lots, blocks or sites, with or without streets or highways or the approval by such Commission of the development of a plat or plats are located if such plats are entirely or partially undeveloped, or the certificate of the Town as to the date of the submission of the final plat and the failure of the Planning Commission to take action thereon within the time prescribed, shall expire within 62 days from the date of such approval, or from the date such certificate is issued unless within such sixty-two-day period, such plat or a section thereof shall have been duly filed or recorded by the owner in the office of the County Clerk. In the event the owner shall file only a section of such approved plat in the office of the County Clerk, the entire approved plat shall be filed within 30 days of the filing of each section with the Town Clerk. Such section shall encompass at least 10% of the total number of lots contained in the approved plat and the approval of the remaining sections of the approved plat shall expire unless said sections are filed before the expiration of the exemption period to which such plat is entitled under the provisions of Town Law § 265-a Subdivision 2.

B. 

Plat void if revised after approval. No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions shall be made in any subdivision plat after approval has been given by the Planning Commission endorsed in writing on the plat, unless said plat is first resubmitted to the Planning Commission and such Commission approves any modifications. In the event that any such subdivision plat is recorded without complying with this requirement, the same shall be considered null and void, and the Board shall institute proceedings to have the plat stricken from the records of the County Clerk.
