It is the policy of the Town of Wilton to permit
variation of lot size and housing types as part of subdivision platting
in suitable areas in order to ensure flexibility of design, to enable
land to be developed in such a manner as to promote its most appropriate
use, to preserve the natural and scenic qualities of open space and
to harmonize new development with traditional open, rural, wooded,
agricultural and hamlet landscapes of the Town and, as a secondary
objective, to facilitate the economical provision of streets and utilities.
To that end, the Town Board of the Town of Wilton, through its resolution
approving the subdivision regulations,[1] hereby adopts the provisions of § 281 of the Town Law of the Consolidated Laws of New York and hereby grants to the Planning Board of the Town of Wilton the full authority set forth in that section to modify applicable provisions of this Chapter 129, as they apply to a specific plat in a manner consistent herewith. The regulations contained in this article shall constitute the rules and regulations required by § 281 of the Town Law, setting forth criteria pursuant to which an open space subdivision may be allowed.
