By authority of the resolution of the Board
of Trustees of the Village of Mount Kisco, on the eighth day of September
1964, pursuant to the provision of Article 6-A of the Village Law[1] (Chapter 64 of the Consolidated Laws of New York), the
Planning Board of the Village of Mount Kisco, New York, has the power
and authority to approve plats for all subdivisions of lots with or
without new streets or highways within the limits of the said Village.
[1]
Editor's Note: See now Article 7 of the Village
Law.
It is declared to be the policy of the Village
Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan
for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Village.
This means, among other things, that land to be subdivided shall be
of such character that it can be used for building purposes without
danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace; that proper
provisions shall be made for drainage, water, sewerage and other needed
improvements; that where a proposed street or streets are involved,
they shall compose a convenient system conforming to the Official
Map and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on such portions
of the Village Plan as may be in existence at any time and shall be
of such width, grade and location as to accommodate the prospective
traffic, to afford adequate light and air, to facilitate fire protection
and to provide access to fire-fighting equipment to buildings; and
that, in proper cases, open spaces for parks and playgrounds shall
be shown on the subdivision plat.
