The Planning Board reviews applications for:

Subdivisions - Before any contract for the sale of, or any offer to sell any lots in such subdivision or any part thereof is made, and before any permit for the erection of a structure in such proposed subdivision shall be granted, the subdivider shall apply in writing for approval of such subdivision in accordance with the Subdivision Regulations.

Effective 8/20/08-

The applicant will submit for Minor Subdivisions, a fee of Fifty Dollars ($50) for each lot created in addition to the original.  Said fees are to be paid by the Subdivider upon the approval of the subdivision and prior to the signing of the mylar for any such subdivision by the Planning Board.  This fee shall apply to Exempt Subdivisions as well as Minor Subdivisions, and the fee shall be used by the Town Board for the funding of recreational opportunities in the Town of Hartford.


For any Major Subdivisions, the Planning Board may require a given area to be set aside for recreational use.  Such an area or areas may be dedicated to the Town by the Subdivider if the Town Board approves such dedication.  In deciding whether or not to require recreational areas, the Planning Board shall take into account the area proposed to be dedicated, the ease of maintenance by the Town, the potential for use of said lands by the residents of the Town, and the overall feasibility of such dedication of such lands.  If the Planning Board decides not to require a given area to be set aside for recreational use, the Planning Board shall require the payment of a fee to be placed into an account by the Town Board for the funding of recreational opportunities in the Town of Hartford.

The fee schedule shall be as follows:

For Major Subdivisions of up to 10 lots in addition to the original lot:  $200 per lot.  For example, a 9 lot subdivision will require a fee of $1800.

For Major Subdivisions of up to 20 lots in addition to the original lot:  $500 per lot. For example, a 19 lot subdivision will require a fee of $9,500.

For Major Subdivisions of more than 21 lots in addition to the original lot: $750 per lot.  For example, a 29 lot subdivision will require a fee of $21,750.

Said fees are to be paid by the developer upon the approval of the subdivision and prior to the signing of the mylar for any such subdivision by the Planning Board.
