By the authority of the resolution of the Town
Board of the Town of Ghent, adopted on March 10, 1971, pursuant to
the provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law of the State of New York,
the Planning Board of the Town of Ghent is authorized and empowered
to approve plans showing lots, blocks or sites, with or without streets
or highways, to approve the development of entirely or partially undeveloped
plats already filed in the office of the Clerk of the County and to
conditionally approve preliminary plats within that part of the Town
of Ghent outside the limits of any incorporated City or Village. It
is declared to be the policy of the Planning Board to consider land
subdivision plats as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and
economical development of the Town. This means, among other things,
that 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; that proper provisions shall be
made for drainage, water supply, sewerage and other needed improvements;
that all proposed lots shall be so laid out and of such size as to
be in harmony with the development pattern of the neighboring properties;
that the proposed streets shall compose a convenient system and shall
be properly related to the proposals shown on the Comprehensive Plan,
if such exists, and shall be of such width, grade and location as
to accommodate the prospective traffic, to facilitate fire protection
and to provide access of fire-fighting equipment to buildings; and
that proper provision shall be made for open spaces for parks and
playgrounds. In order that land subdivisions may be made in accordance
with this policy, these regulations which shall be known as, and which
may be cited as, the "Town of Ghent Land Subdivision Regulations"
have been adopted by the Planning Board and approved by the Town Board
on March 10, 1971.
