A.
These regulations are designed to provide standards and rules related
to the making, reviewing, filing and recording of subdivision and
development plans and plats, and to provide for preliminary and final
approval or rejection of such plans or plats, or portions thereof,
by the Village and as set forth in this chapter.
B.
"Subdivision of land" means the division of land as defined in the
Illinois Compiled Statutes and as further defined in this chapter.
Pursuant to the authority conferred by the statutes of the State
of Illinois, the objectives of these regulations are to provide for
the orderly growth and harmonious development of the Village; to secure
adequate traffic circulation by means of coordinated street systems
with relation to major thoroughfares and streets adjoining subdivisions,
public walkways, public facilities and other land uses; to achieve
individual lots of reasonable utility and livability; to facilitate
adequate provisions for transpiration, water supply, drainage, sanitary
sewerage, stormwater drainage and health requirements; to encourage
the installation of streetlights and street trees; to encourage adequate
provisions for recreational areas; to encourage the installation and
use of adequate provisions for the control of erosion and sediment
during development and construction; to encourage adequate provisions
for open space, school sites, and other public ways and facilities;
to encourage the installation of underground utilities; to provide
for the further subdivision of tracts into smaller or larger parcels
of land, and to provide administrative and review procedures for the
attainment of these objectives to establish standards for the construction
of public improvements.
These regulations are made part of any existing or future Village
regional comprehensive planning program.
All proposed subdivisions and other developments shall comply
with any future ordinance(s) entitled "An Ordinance Approving Official
Plan Map and Comprehensive Plan for the Village of Oakwood, Vermilion
County, Illinois."
A.
For the purpose of the present and future development of the Village
and for the promotion of public health and safety, morals, comfort
and welfare of persons living within the territory governed, the provisions
and regulations hereinafter contained which shall govern the development,
subdivision and platting of land lying within the corporate limits
of the Village as now or hereafter existing, or within the area of
jurisdiction of the Village as now or hereafter established under
the provisions of the statutes of the State of Illinois, are adopted
as part of the official plan of the Village.
B.
These regulations are further for the purpose of controlling the
future development of the Village and for the promotion of the public
health and safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of persons living
within the territory governed by the Village. The provisions and regulations
in this chapter shall govern the subdivision and platting of lands
and civil engineering improvements within planned unit developments
and condominiums lying within the corporate limits of the Village
as now or hereafter existing and, to the extent that such provisions
and regulations may be applicable, shall also govern the subdivision
and platting of lands, and the civil engineering improvements within
planned unit developments, condominiums or subdivisions lying within
contiguous territory which is not more than 1 1/2 miles beyond
the corporate limits of the Village.
A.
Lands subject to flooding and land deemed to be topographically unsuitable
should not be subdivided for residential purposes, nor for such other
uses as may increase danger to health, life or property, or aggravate
erosion or flood hazards.
B.
Any existing or future Village Planning Commission shall not approve
the subdivision of land if, upon adequate investigation conducted
by the Planning Commission, it has been determined by the Village
Planning Commission that, in the best interest of the public, the
site is not suitable for the subdivision and development of the kind
proposed. In making this evaluation, the Village Planning Commission
shall make reference to applicable portions of any Village Comprehensive
Plan, Village Zoning Ordinance, any Vermilion County Comprehensive
Plan, and other general standards of the community in force at the
time of this determination.
After the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter,
no permanent building or structure shall be erected within the extended
street lines of proposed extensions of major streets shown on the
major street plan adopted as part of the comprehensive plan for the
Village of Oakwood.
