By authority of the resolution adopted by the Town Board on
the 12th day of May 1977, pursuant to the provisions of Article 16
of the Town Law, the Town of North East Planning Board has the power
and authority to approve or disapprove plats for subdivision within
the unincorporated area of the Town of North East.
In order that land in the Town of North East may be subdivided
in accordance with the policy set forth herein, these regulations
are hereby adopted and shall be known and may be cited as the "Town
of North East Land Subdivision Regulations."
It is declared to be the policy of the Town of North East Planning
Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan for the
orderly, efficient and economical development of the Town. 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 Town Plan.
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 plat, wherever
appropriate.
Should any of these regulations conflict or be inconsistent
with any provision of the Town Law, such provision of the Town Law
shall apply.
Nothing in these regulations shall prohibit the subdivider from
placing self-imposed restrictions, not in violation of these regulations,
on the development. Such restrictions, however, shall be indicated
on the plat.
