(A) The planning staff may from time to time and, at the request of the Town Board or Planning Board, shall prepare certain improvements to the text of the subdivision ordinance to correct errors, update or modify the requirements or otherwise improve the operation of the ordinance in regulating the subdivision of land.
(B) Amendments to this article may only be enacted pursuant to public notice and public hearing on the proposed amendments. Notice of the public hearing shall be published once per week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the town. The notice shall be first published not less than ten days, nor more than 25 days, prior to the date fixed for the hearing. The notice shall indicate the date, time and place of the hearing and shall include a statement of the substance of the proposed amendment.
(C) All text amendments must be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation prior to final action by the elected officials. Failure of the Planning Board to act within 45 days following the public hearing will be deemed to constitute an affirmative recommendation on the proposed amendment. An action to defer a recommendation for cause will constitute an action for the purposes of this article.
