Authority. By authority of the resolution adopted by the Town Board,
pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law, the Planning
Board has the power and authority to approve plats for subdivisions
within the Town of Marion.
Purpose and intent. It is declared to be the policy of the Town Planning
Board to consider land subdivisions as part of a plan for the orderly,
efficient and economical development of the Town. Land to be subdivided
shall be of such character that it can be used for building purposes
without danger to health, or peril from fire, flood, or other menace.
Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water, sewerage, and
other needed improvements. The proposed streets shall compose a convenient
system conforming to the Official Map, if such may be adopted, and
shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the Town Plan
as it is, or may be, adopted by the Planning Board. Streets shall
be of such width, grade, and location as to accommodate the prospective
traffic, to afford adequate light and air, and to facilitate fire
protection. In proper cases, park areas of suitable location, size,
and character for playground or other recreational purposes shall
be shown on the subdivision plan.
In order that land within the Town of Marion may be subdivided
in accordance with this policy, these regulations are hereby adopted.
Should any of these regulations conflict or be inconsistent
with any provision of the Town Law, such provision of the Town Law
shall apply.
