A.
Conformity with General Plan. The arrangement, width,
location and extent of marginal access, minor and collector streets
should conform to and be in harmony with the General Plan for the
Village. Streets not in the General Plan should conform to the recommendation
of the Planning Board based on existing and planned streets, topography,
public safety, convenience and proposed uses of land.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
B.
Arrangement. Residential minor streets shall be designed
to discourage through traffic whose origin and destination is not
within the subdivision.
C.
Location. When a proposed subdivision is adjacent
to or contains a state highway, the Planning Board may seek information
from the New York State Department of Public Works as to the status
of said highway in reference to right-of-way and direction. The Planning
Board may require a marginal street approximately parallel to and
on each side of such a right-of-way at a distance suitable for an
appropriate use of the intervening land as for park purposes in residential
districts or for commercial or industrial purposes. Such distance
shall also be determined with due regard for the requirements of approach
grades and future grade separation. Railroad rights-of-way shall receive
similar consideration.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
D.
Intersections. Streets shall intersect one another
at angles as near to a right angle as possible, and no intersections
of streets at angles less than 60º shall be approved. Street
intersections shall be rounded with a radius of 25 feet measured at
the right-of-way line when such intersection occurs at right angles.
If an intersection occurs at an angle other than a right angle it
shall be rounded with a curve of radius acceptable to the Planning
Board. Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than 125 feet
shall be avoided.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
E.
Dead-end streets. The maximum length of a dead-end
street shall be 400 feet. Each dead-end street shall be provided with
a turnaround having a minimum right-of-way radius of 50 feet. The
road surface within the dead-end street shall have a minimum radius
of 40 feet. Dead-end streets designed to be so permanently shall not
be permitted unless provided with a turnaround.
F.
Half streets. Dedication of half streets shall be
prohibited, except when essential to the reasonable development of
the subdivision in conformity with the other requirements of these
regulations and where the Planning Board finds it will be practicable
to require the dedication of the other half when the adjoining property
is subdivided. Wherever a half street is adjacent to a tract to be
subdivided, the other half of the street shall be platted within such
tract.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
H.
Width and pavement. Unless otherwise shown on the
General Plan the following standards shall be followed:

I.
Dedication. Approval of a plat shall not be an acceptance
by the public of the dedication of any street, highway, or other way
shown upon the plat.
J.
Alleys. Alleys shall not be permitted in residential
areas. In commercial and industrial districts, definite and assured
provision shall be made for service access, such as off-street parking,
loading and unloading consistent with and adequate for the uses proposed.
The width of an alley shall not be less than 24 feet where permitted.
A dead-end alley shall be avoided where possible.
K.
Names and numbers. Names of new streets shall not
duplicate existing or platted streets. New streets which are extended
or in alignment with existing streets shall bear the name of the existing
streets.
(1)
All new streets shall be named in the following manner:

House numbers shall be assigned in accordance with
the house numbering system now in effect in the Village.
L.
Street signs. The subdivider shall provide and erect
street signs of a type to be approved by the Village Engineer at all
street and road intersections prior to acceptance of the constructed
streets.
M.
Trees. Street trees should be provided outside of
the street right-of-way and planted in such a manner as not to impair
visibility at any corner or corners.
A.
Location. All lots shall abut by their full frontage
on a public street.
B.
Dimensions. The lot size, width, depth, shape, and area and the minimum setbacks shall comply with Chapter 250, Zoning, of this Municipal Code, and the following requirements:
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
(1)
Where an overall design for a business section is
submitted for an area of three acres of more, the Planning Board may
not require the platting of individual lots. In such cases, the development
plans for the aforementioned business development shall be submitted
to the Planning Board for consideration and approval prior to the
filing of the application for building permits.
(2)
Where the land to be occupied by a subdivision cannot
be served by a public sewer system, the Planning Board may require
that the lot size be increased to ensure proper sewage disposal.
C.
Double frontage lots. Frontings on two streets, other
than corner lots, shall be discouraged. Where essential to provide
separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to
overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation, the
Planning Board may require a planting screen easement at least 10
feet wide, across which there shall be no right of access along the
line of lots abutting such traffic artery or other disadvantageous
use.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
D.
Setback. The provisions of Chapter 250, Zoning, of this Municipal Code shall apply regarding setback lines.
E.
Lot lines. Side lot lines shall be approximately at
right angles to the street or radial to curved streets. On large-size
lots and except when indicated by topography lot lines shall be straight.
F.
Corner lots. Lots for residential use shall have extra
width to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation
to both streets.
A.
Methods. Consideration shall be given to the allocation
of areas suitably located for community purposes as indicated on the
General Plan and be made available by one of the following methods:
(1)
Dedication to the Village;
(2)
Reservation of land for the use of property owners
by deed or covenant; or
(3)
Reservation for acquisition by the Village within
a reasonable period of time. Said reservation shall be made in such
manner as to provide for a release of the land to the subdivider in
the event that the Village does not proceed with the purchase.
B.
Reservation of other areas. The Planning Board may
require the reservation of other areas or sites of a character, extent
and location suitable to the needs of the Village, such as water plants,
sewage treatment plants and other community purposes not anticipated
in the General Plan.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
A.
As a safety measure for the protection of the health
and welfare of the people of the Village, land which is found to be
unsuitable for subdivision due to flooding, swamps, bad drainage and
other harmful features shall not be subdivided until adequate methods
are formulated by the subdivider and approved by the Planning Board
and the Village Engineer. Before final approval the subdivider shall,
in lieu of the improvement, furnish a surety bond or certified check
covering the cost of the required improvements.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
[Added 1-12-2015 by L.L.
No. 1-2015]
A.
The violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed
an offense, and upon such conviction, such offender may be punished
by a fine not to exceed $250 or imprisonment for not more than 15
days, or both. For a repeat offender, the maximum penalty shall be
two times that set forth in this section. In either case, each day
that such violation shall continue shall constitute a separate violation.
B.
The foregoing shall not be deemed the sole right and remedy of Village
relative to enforcement, and the Village may also, or alternatively,
assert and pursue any other rights, any and all civil or criminal
actions, proceedings or remedies available at law.
