A.
By the authority of the resolution of the Village Board of Trustees
of the Village of Livonia, the Joint Planning Board 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 approve preliminary plats within Livonia.
B.
It is the policy of the Joint Planning Board to consider land subdivision
plats as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and economical
development of Livonia. This means, among other things, 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 and that proper provisions shall be made for
drainage, water supply, sewerage and other needed improvements.
C.
All proposed lots shall be laid out and of such a size so as to be
in harmony with the development pattern of neighboring properties
so 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
fire protection and to provide access of firefighting equipment to
buildings, and so that proper provision shall be made for open spaces
for parks and playgrounds or for natural resource protection.
D.
In order that land subdivisions may be made in accordance with this
policy, these regulations shall be known as the "Livonia Land Subdivision
Regulations."
