The Planning Board, in reviewing an application for approval of a preliminary or final plat, shall be guided by the considerations and standards presented in these sections. In its review, the Planning Board will take into consideration the prospective character of the development and require that subdivision improvements be designed to such standards as are consistent with reasonable protection of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare. In addition, all design shall be in accordance with Chapter
A125, Design Criteria and Construction Specifications, of the Code of the Town of Rush.
The dimensions and arrangement of lots shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties because of topography, reservations, dedications or other conditions, in providing access to buildings on such lots or in securing building permits to build on the lots in compliance with Chapter
120, Zoning, on other requirements. In general, side lot lines should be at right angles or radial to street lines unless a variation from this can be shown to result in a better plan.
All lots shall abut a street for at least the minimum width required in Chapter
120, Zoning. Where a watercourse separates the buildable area of a lot from the street to which it has access, provision shall be made for installation of a culvert or other structure when required, which shall be subject to the same design criteria and review as all other stormwater drainage facilities in the subdivision.
No division of land shall result in any of the
parcels not having at least one access point to at least one public
street. Where a remaining parcel is located so that access to a public
street would be gained by a street from the main portion of the parcel,
there must be enough land remaining to provide for a public street
from the site to the main street.
All streets shall be named and such names shall
be subject to the approval of the Planning Board, the Town Board,
the US Postal Service and the Monroe County Office of Emergency Communications.
A street which is a continuation of an existing street shall bear
the same name. Relating street names to features of local historical,
topographical or other natural interests is encouraged.
