Section 273. Official map, changes  


Latest version.
  • Such  town  board is authorized and
      empowered, whenever and as often as  it  may  deem  it  for  the  public
      interest,  to change or add to the official map of the town so as to lay
      out new streets, highways, drainage systems or parks,  or  to  widen  or
      close  existing streets, highways, drainage systems or parks within that
      part of the town outside the limits of any incorporated city or village.
      At least ten days' notice of a public hearing  on  any  proposed  action
      with reference to any such change in the official map shall be published
      in  a  newspaper  of general circulation in such town. Before making any
      such addition or change, the town board shall refer the  matter  to  the
      planning  board  for report thereon, but if the planning board shall not
      make its report within thirty days of such reference, it  shall  forfeit
      the  right  further  to suspend action. Such additions and changes, when
      adopted, shall become a part of the official map of the town, and  shall
      be deemed to be final and conclusive with respect to the location of the
      streets, highways, drainage systems and parks shown thereon. The layout,
      widening or closing, or the approval of the layout, widening or closing,
      of  streets,  highways, drainage systems or parks, by the town board, or
      the town superintendent of highways, under provisions of law other  than
      those  contained  in  this article, shall be deemed to be an addition or
      change of the official map, and shall be subject to all  the  provisions
      of this article with regard to such additions or changes.
