[Amended 3-16-1992 by L.L. No. 4-1992]
By authority of the resolution adopted by the
Board of Trustees on the third day of April 1972 pursuant to the provisions
of § 7-700 et seq. of the Village Law, the Village Planning
Board has the power and authority to approve or disapprove plats for
subdivision within the Village.
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 shall be interpreted to include the following objectives, which
shall guide the Planning Board's decisions:
A. 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.
B. Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water
supply, sewerage and other needed improvements and utilities.
C. Proposed streets shall compose a convenient system
conforming to the Official Map and shall be properly related to the
proposals shown on the Village Plan.
[Amended 3-16-1992 by L.L. No. 4-1992]
D. Streets shall be of such width, grade and location
as to accommodate prospective traffic, to afford adequate light and
air and to facilitate fire protection and snow removal.
E. Park areas of suitable location, size and character
for playground or other recreational purposes shall be shown on the
subdivision plat wherever appropriate.
F. The proposed development shall be aesthetically compatible
with the existing development and character of the Village.
Should any of these regulations conflict or
be inconsistent with any provision of the Village Law or Village ordinances,
such provision of the Village Law or ordinance shall apply.
Nothing in these regulations shall prohibit
the subdivider from placing self-imposed restrictions not in violation
of these regulations on the development. Such restrictions, however,
shall be indicated on the plat.
