A.
These regulations are established to provide a schedule of procedures,
standards and requirements for the use of the Planning Board in carrying
out its authorized powers, to provide the detail necessary for the
efficient administration of its duties and to offer a document which
will help both the developer and the Planning Board to achieve a speedy,
accurate and fair review of subdivision proposals.
B.
It is hereby declared that it is the intent of these regulations
to uphold insofar as possible those planning objectives which were
claimed for the Village of Sag Harbor in § 55-2A(3) of the
Zoning Code[1] as follows: "To protect the established character and
the social and economic stability of the Village, ensure that all
development shall be orderly and beneficial, balance public and private
interests, conserve land value, facilitate the adequate provision
of transportation, water, sewage and other public requirements and
services by limiting development to a degree commensurate with the
availability and capacity of such public facilities and services,
prevent pollution of the land, water and environment, safeguard water
resources and encourage the wise use and sound management of natural
resources throughout the Village to preserve the beauty of the community
and the value of the land."
The approval of subdivisions shall be guided by the above objectives
and the following specific considerations:
B.
Recognition of a desirable relationship to the general land form,
its topographic and geologic character, to natural drainage, to the
recharge of the groundwater reservoir and to floodplain and ecological
concerns.
C.
Recognition of desirable standards of subdivision design for pedestrian
and vehicular traffic, surface water runoff, utility services and
building sites for the land use contemplated.
D.
Encouragement of flexible subdivision design to provide for a variety
of housing types, to realize development and maintenance economies,
to promote the preservation of open space and to meet the housing
needs and other planning objectives of the community.
E.
Provision for such facilities as are desirable adjuncts to the contemplated
use, such as parks and recreation areas.
F.
Preservation of such natural resources and assets as ponds, streams,
swamps, tidal waters and wetlands, marshes, beaches, flora, fauna,
general scenic beauty and historic features of the area.
G.
Consistence with the policies, purpose and projects of the Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program.
