By the authority of the resolution of the Village Board of the
Village of Coxsackie adopted on June 10, 1974, pursuant to the provisions
of the Village Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of
the Village of Coxsackie 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 that part of the Village of Coxsackie.
It is declared to be 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; 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, if such exists, and shall be properly related
to the proposals shown on the Comprehensive 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 provisions
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 Coxsackie Subdivision Regulations," have been adopted
by the Planning Board on May 29, 1974, and approved by the Village
Board of June 19, 1974.
