In order that land subdivision may be made in accordance with this
policy, these regulations, which shall be known as and which may be
cited as the "Town of Urbana Land Subdivision Regulations," are hereby
enacted this 30th day of December, 1985.
It is declared to be the policy of the Town Board and the Town
Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan
for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Town.
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;
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, if such
exists, and shall be properly related to the proposals shown in the
Town Planning Studies and/or Land Use Plan, if such exists, and shall
be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate the prospective
traffic, to facilitate fire protection and to provide access of fire-fighting
equipment to buildings; and that proper provision shall be made for
parks and playgrounds.
For the purpose of these regulations, certain words and terms
used herein are defined as follows:
A street which serves or is designed to serve as a trafficway
for a neighborhood or as a feeder to a major street.
Planning Board approval of the final plat subject to conditions
set forth by the Planning Board in a resolution conditionally approving
the plat. Such "conditional approval" does not qualify a final plat
for recording nor authorize issuance of building permits prior to
the signing of the plat by a duly authorized officer of the Planning
Board and recording of the plat by a duly authorized officer of the
Planning Board and recording of the plat in the office of the Steuben
County Clerk in accordance with these regulations.

of such proposed subdivision, if such preliminary plat has been so
approved.
Planning Board approval of a plat in final form by signing
of the final plat by a duly authorized officer of a Planning Board

in the office of the Steuben County Clerk.
