By the authority of the resolution of the Town Board of the Town of Conesus adopted on April 18, 1974, pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of the Town of Conesus 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 approve preliminary plats within the Town.
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 Town. 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 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; 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 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 shall be known as the "Town of Conesus Land Subdivision Regulations" having been adopted by the Planning Board on April 18, 1974, and approved by the Town Board on September 16, 1974.
