A.
By the authority of the resolution of the Village Board of the Village
of Whitesboro, New York, adopted on October 12, 1951, and any amendments
thereto, pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the Village Law
of the State of New York, the Zoning Board of the Village of Whitesboro,
New York, 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 Clerk of the county and to conditionally approve
preliminary plats within the Village of Whitesboro.
[Amended 12-8-1986 by L.L. No. 1-1986]
B.
It is declared to be the policy of the Zoning Board 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 the site can be used safely for building purposes without danger
to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace; that proper provision
shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewerage and other needed
improvements; that all proposed lots shall be so laid out and of such
size as to be in harmony with the development pattern of the neighboring
properties; that the proposed streets shall compose a convenient system
conforming to the Official Map and shall be properly related to the
proposals shown on the Comprehensive Plan and shall be of such width,
grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic, to facilitate
protection and to provide access to fire-fighting equipment to buildings;
and that proper provision shall be made for open spaces for parks
and playgrounds.
C.

policy, these regulations, which shall be known as and which may be
cited as the "Village of Whitesboro Subdivision Regulations," have
been approved by the Village Board and adopted by the Village Zoning
