By the authority of the resolution of the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Greenwood Lake, adopted on September 8, 1958, pursuant
to the provisions of § 7-700 et seq. of the Village Law,
the Planning Board of the Village of Greenwood Lake was authorized
and empowered to approve plats, with or without streets, for subdivisions
within the Village of Greenwood Lake. It is declared to be the policy
of the Greenwood Lake 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 Master Plan, if such exists, and shall be of such width,
grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic, to afford
adequate light and air, 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 this policy,
these regulations which shall be known as and which may be cited as
the "Village of Greenwood Lake Land Subdivision Regulations" have
been adopted by the Planning Board on September 2, 1964, and approved
by the Village Board of Trustees on September 14, 1964.
