[Amended 3-2-1993 by L.L. No. 1-1993]
By the authority of the resolution of the Board
of Trustees of the Village of Yorkville, New York, adopted on February
8, 1966, pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the Village Law
of the State of New York, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village
of Yorkville, New York, 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 of Yorkville.
It is declared to be the policy of the Zoning
Board of Appeals 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 the site can be used safely for
building purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood
or other menace; that proper provision shall be made for drainage,
water supply, sewerage and other needed improvements; that all proposed
lots shall be so laid out and of such size as to be in harmony with
the development pattern of the neighboring properties; that the proposed
streets shall compose a convenient system conforming to the Official
Map and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the Master
Plan and shall be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate
the prospective traffic, to facilitate fire protection and to provide
access of firefighting 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 this policy, these regulations, which shall be
known as and which may be cited as the "Village of Yorkville Subdivision
Regulations," have been approved by the Board of Trustees on May 6,
1969, and adopted by the Village Planning Board on May 15, 1969.
