(a) The County Zoning Committee shall approve, approve conditionally and/or with deed restrictions, or reject the certified survey map, after considering recommendations from the affected town, within 30 days from the date of filing of the map unless the time is extended by written agreement with the subdivider. If the map is rejected, the reasons shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a written statement forwarded to the subdivider and surveyor. If the map is approved, the chairman of the County zoning committee shall so certify on the face of the original map. Illustration No. 3 shows a flow chart of the review and approval process for a certified survey map.

(b) The Town Board of Supervisors shall approve, approve conditionally and/or with deed restrictions, or reject the certified survey map within 90 days from the date of filing of the map unless the time is extended by written agreement with the subdivider. If the certified survey map is rejected by the town, the reasons shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a written statement forwarded to the subdivider and surveyor. If the map is approved, the chairman of the town board shall so certify on the face of the original map and return the map to the subdivider. The town clerk shall notify the County zoning committee of the Town’s action to approve, approve conditionally and/or with deed restrictions, or reject the map.

(c) Failure of the County zoning committee to act within 90 days, or any extension mutually agreed to with the subdivider, constitutes an approval of the map and, upon demand, a certificate to that effect shall be made on the face of the map by the County zoning committees.

(d) Recordation. After the certified survey map has been approved by the County zoning committee, the County zoning committee shall cause a certification to be inscribed on the map attesting to such approval, and the County zoning administrator shall record the map with the County Register of Deeds at the subdivider’s expense. The Register of Deeds shall not record the map unless it is offered for recording within 12 months after the date of the last approval and within 36 months after the first approval.

(e) Copies. The subdivider shall provide adequate copies of the map, along with a digital file of the map that is compatible with the County digital system, to the County zoning administrator for distribution as necessary to the town and affected County departments for their files. One (1) copy of the map shall be placed in the County zoning committee permanent files. [Code § 14.03-7.]
