§  7-732  Subdivision  review; record of plats. 1. Filing of plat with  county clerk or register. (a) No plat of a subdivision of  land  showing  lots,  blocks  or sites, shall be filed or recorded in the office of the  county clerk or register until it has been approved by a planning  board  which  has  been empowered to approve such plats. Further, such approval  must be endorsed in writing on the plat in such manner as  the  planning  board may designate.    (b)  Such  endorsement shall stipulate that the plat does not conflict  with the county official map, where one exists, or in cases where  plats  do  front  on  or  have  access  to or are otherwise related to roads or  drainage systems shown on the county official map, that  such  plat  has  been  approved in the manner specified by subdivision two of section two  hundred thirty-nine-f of the general municipal law.    2. Notification of filing. It shall be the duty of the county clerk or  register to notify the planning board in writing within  three  days  of  the  filing  or  recording  of any plat approved by such planning board,  identifying such plat by its title, date of  filing  or  recording,  and  official file number.    3.  Effect  of  filing.  After  such  plat  is approved and filed, the  streets, highways and parks shown on such plat shall  be  and  become  a  part of the official map or plan of the village.    4.  Cession  or  dedication  of  streets,  highways  or parks. (a) All  streets, highways or parks shown on a filed or recorded plat are offered  for dedication to the public unless the owner of the affected  land,  or  the owner's agent, makes a notation on the plat to the contrary prior to  final  plat  approval.  Any  street, highway or park shown on a filed or  recorded plat shall be deemed to be private until such time  as  it  has  been formally accepted by a resolution of the local legislative body, or  until  it  has been condemned by the village for use as a public street,  highway or park.    (b) In the event that such approved plat  is  not  filed  or  recorded  prior to the expiration date of the plat approval as provided in section  7-728  of this article, then such offer of dedication shall be deemed to  be invalid, void and of no effect on and after such expiration date.
