By authority of the resolution adopted by the Village Board
on the second day of June 1953 pursuant to the provisions of Article
6-A of the Village Law, the Village of Bath Planning Board has the power and authority
to approve or disapprove plats for subdivision within the Village
of Bath.
It is declared to be the policy of the Village of Bath Planning
Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan for the
orderly, efficient and economical development of the Village. This
shall be interpreted to include the following objectives, which shall
guide the Planning Board's decisions:
A. 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. Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewerage
and other needed improvements and utilities.
C. Proposed streets shall compose a convenient system conforming to
the Official Map and shall be properly related to the proposals shown
on the Village Plan, as such map or plan may be adopted.
D. Streets shall be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate
prospective traffic, to afford adequate light and air and to facilitate
fire protection.
E. Park areas of suitable location, size and character for playground
or other recreational purposes shall be shown on the subdivision plat,
wherever appropriate.
Should any of these regulations conflict or be inconsistent
with any provision of the Village Law, such provision of the Village
Law shall apply.
Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the subdivider from placing
self-imposed restrictions not in violation of this chapter on the
development. Such restrictions, however, shall be indicated on the
plat.
