By the authority of the resolution of the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson adopted on October 22, 1979,
pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the Village Law of the
State of New York, the Planning Board of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson
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 County Clerk prior to the appointment of such Planning Board
and to approve plats within the limits of the Incorporated Village
of Cornwall-on-Hudson.
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 and affording adequate facilities
for the housing, transportation, distribution, comfort, convenience,
safety, health and welfare of its population. This means, among other
things:
A.
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.
B.
That proper provision shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewerage
and other needed improvements.
C.
That all proposed lots shall be so laid out and of such size as to
be in harmony with the goals for the Village as stated in the Comprehensive
Development Plan.
D.
That the proposed streets shall compose a convenient system consistent
with the Official Map, 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.
E.
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 Cornwall-on-Hudson Land Subdivision
Regulations," have been adopted by the Planning Board and approved
by the Board of Trustees on October 22, 1979.
The Clerk of the Village, said village having authorized its
Planning Board to approve plats showing lots, blocks or sites, with
or without streets or highways, or the entire or partial development
of plats filed in the office of the Clerk of the county in which such
plats are located or to conditionally approve preliminary plats, as
provided in these regulations, shall immediately file a certificate
of that fact with the Clerk of the county in which such village is
located.
