A. By the authority of the resolution of the Town Board of the Town of Riverhead

provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of

plats already filed in the office of the Suffolk County Clerk or Register of Suffolk County
if such plats are entirely or partially undeveloped. It is declared to be the policy of the
Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan for the orderly,
efficient and economical development of the Town. This means, among other things,
that land to be subdivided shall be of such character that it can be used safely for
building purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace; that
proper provision shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewerage and other needed
improvements; that all proposed lots shall be as laid out and of such size as to be in
harmony with the development pattern of the neighboring properties; that the proposed
streets shall compose a convenient system conforming to the Official Map, if such
exists, and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the Master Plan, if such
exists, and shall be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate the
prospective traffic, to facilitate fire protection and to provide access of fire-fighting
equipment to buildings; and that proper provision shall be made for open spaces for
parks and playgrounds. In order that land subdivisions may be made in accordance with
this policy, this Article, which shall be'known as and which may be cited as the "Town of
Riverhead Land Subdivision Regulations," has been adopted by the Planning Board and
approved by the Town Board.
B. Notwithstandinq the provision above, the Town Board shall be vested with such
identical powers and authority as bestowed upon the Plannin-q Board with respect to
review and approval of plats showing lots, blocks and sites, be it related to major, minor
or industrial subdivision of land, located within urban renewal designated areas
pursuant to Article 15 of the General Municipal Law filed on or after the effective date of
the adoption of this provision. To the extent the Town Board acts as the agency
reviewing subdivision pursuant to this article of the Town Code, references to the
"Planning Board" in connection with subdivision review shall be interpreted to mean the
"Town Board." This provision, 301-284 (B) is adopted pursuant to the statutory
authority/supersession provisions set forth Municipal Home Rule Law and is consistent
with Article 15 and 15-A of the General Municipal Law and Chapter 423 of the Laws of
