It is hereby declared to be the policy of the
Village of Manlius that the subdivision and development of land for
residential, commercial and industrial and other purposes shall be
guided and regulated in such a manner as to meet the following requirements
for orderly and harmonious growth. Land to be subdivided or developed
shall be of such character that it can be used safely without danger
to health; or peril from fire, flood or erosion; excessive noise or
smoke; or other menace. Proper provisions shall be made for drainage,
water supply, sewage disposal and other appropriate utility services.
The proposed streets shall provide a safe, convenient and functional
system for vehicular circulation and shall be properly related to
the Master Plan of the area. Streets shall be of such width, grade
and location as to accommodate prospective traffic as determined by
existing and probable future land and building uses. Buildings, lots,
blocks and streets shall be properly constructed in accordance with
all applicable codes and shall be so arranged as to afford adequate
light and air, to facilitate fire protection and to provide ample
access to buildings for fire-fighting equipment. Land shall be subdivided
or developed with due regard to topography so that the natural beauty
of the land and vegetation shall be protected and enhanced. Adequate
sites for schools, parks, playgrounds and other community services
shall be located so that residents of all neighborhoods shall have
convenient access to such facilities.
