By the authority provided by the Village Law,
the Village of Tivoli Planning Board has the power and authority to
approve or disapprove plats for subdivision within the incorporated
area of the Village of Tivoli.
In order that land in the Village of Tivoli
may be subdivided in accordance with the policy set forth herein,
this chapter is hereby adopted and shall be known and may be cited
as the "Village of Tivoli Land Subdivision Regulations."
It is declared to be the policy of the Village
of Tivoli Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part
of a plan for the orderly, efficient and economical development of
the Village. This shall be interpreted to include the following objectives
which shall guide the Planning Board's decisions:
A.
Land to be subdivided shall be of such character that
it can be used safely for building purposes without danger to health
or peril from fire, flood or other menace.
B.
Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water
supply, sewerage and other needed improvements and utilities.
C.
Proposed streets shall compose a convenient system
conforming to the Official Map, and shall be properly related to the
proposals shown on the Comprehensive Plan.
D.
Streets shall be of such width, grade and location
as to accommodate prospective traffic, to afford adequate light and
air and to facilitate fire protection.
E.
Park areas of suitable location, size and character
for playground or other recreational purposes shall be shown on the
plat, wherever appropriate.
Should any part of this chapter conflict or
be inconsistent with any provision of the Village Law, such provision
of the Village Law shall apply.
Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the subdivider
from placing self-imposed restrictions not in violation of this chapter
on the development. Such restrictions, however, shall be indicated
on the plat.
