By authority of the resolution adopted by the Town Board on the third day of June 1964, pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law, the Town of Sodus Planning Board has the power and authority to approve or disapprove plats for subdivision within the unincorporated area of the Town of Sodus.
This chapter is adopted in order that land in the Town of Sodus may be subdivided in accordance with the policy set forth herein.
It is declared to be the policy of the Town of Sodus Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Town. 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, sewage disposal and other needed improvements and utilities.
C. 
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.
D. 
Park areas of suitable location, size and character for playground or other recreational purposes shall be shown on the subdivision plat, wherever appropriate.
Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the subdivider from placing self-imposed restrictions, not in violation of this chapter, on the development. Such restrictions, however, shall be indicated on the plat.
