This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Subdivision
Law of the Incorporated Village of Roslyn."
[Amended 6-17-2014 by L.L. No. 8-2014]
By authority of the resolution of the Board of Trustees of the
Village of Roslyn, pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the
Village Law, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Roslyn, New York,
has the power and authority to approve plats for all subdivisions
of lots with or without new streets or highways within the limits
of the Village.
[Amended 6-17-2014 by L.L. No. 8-2014]
It is declared to be the policy of the Village Board of Trustees
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 for building purposes without danger to health
or peril from fire, flood or other menace; that proper provisions
shall be made for drainage, water, sewerage and other needed improvements;
that where a proposed street or streets are involved, they shall compose
a convenient system conforming to the Official Map and shall be properly
related to the proposals shown on such portions of the Village Comprehensive
Plan as may be in existence at any time 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 to fire-fighting equipment to buildings; and that, in proper
cases, open spaces for parks and playgrounds shall be shown on the
subdivision plat.
