The Blooming Grove Planning Board declares that
these regulations for the subdivision of land for various purposes
have been promulgated to provide for the orderly growth and coordinated
development of the Town of Blooming Grove and to ensure the comfort,
convenience, safety, health and welfare of its people. The approval
of such subdivisions shall be based on the following considerations:
A. Conformance with the Town of Blooming Grove Comprehensive
Plan, Zoning Law and this chapter;
B. Recognition of a desirable relationship to:
(2) Its topographic and geologic character;
(3) Natural surface drainage, both on and off the site;
and
C. Preservation of such assets as ponds, streams, trees,
ground cover, open lawns, stone walls, historic sites, and other scenic
qualities associated with the land and its surrounding views;
D. Provision of a well-conceived pattern of vehicular
and pedestrian circulation, underground utility distribution, surface
water collection and discharge without detrimental effects to downstream
and upstream properties, open space and the site to be subdivided;
and
E. Provision for such community facilities as the Board
may require due to the unique location or the size of the subdivision,
including but not limited to active recreation areas, school sites,
and parking areas.
Through the authority granted by Article 16
of New York State Town Law, every subdivision of land is required
to receive the approval of the Town of Blooming Grove Planning Board.
