By the authority of the resolution of the Village Board of the Village
of Caledonia adopted on May 14, 1962, pursuant to the provisions of Article
7 of the Village Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of the Village
of Caledonia is authorized and empowered to approve plats showing lots, blocks
or sites, with or without streets or highways; to approve the development
of entirely or partially undeveloped plats already filed in the office of
the Clerk of the county; and to conditionally approve preliminary plats within
the village.
It is the policy of the 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, and that
proper provisions shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewerage and other
needed improvements.
All proposed lots shall be so laid out and of such a size as to be in
harmony with the development pattern of neighboring properties; that the proposed
streets shall compose a convenient system conforming to the Official Map,
if such exists, and 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 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 the policy
herein stated, this chapter shall be known as the "Village of Caledonia Land
Subdivision Regulations," having been originally adopted by the Planning Board
on August 28, 1973, and approved by the Village Board on September 4, 1973.
