By the authority of the resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Warwick, previously adopted pursuant to the provisions of Article VI-A of the Village Law of the State of New York, constituting Chapter 64 of the Consolidated Laws,[1] the Planning Board of the Village of Warwick was authorized
and empowered to approve plats, with or without streets, for subdivisions
within the Village of Warwick. It is declared to be the policy of
the Warwick 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 safely for building
purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other
menace, that proper provision 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 conforming to the Official Map, if such
exists, shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the Master
Plan, if such exists, 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 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 "Village of Warwick
Land Subdivision Regulations," have been adopted by the Planning Board
on November 16, 1964, and approved by the Village Board of Trustees
on November 16, 1964.[2]
