A. 
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the Village Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board has been authorized and empowered to approve plats for subdivisions within the Village.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
B. 
It is declared to be the policy of the Village Planning Board to consider land subdivisions as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Village. 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 provisions shall be made for drainage, water, sewerage and other needed improvements. The proposed streets shall compose a convenient system conforming to the Official Map, as it may be adopted, and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the Village plan as it is 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 plat.
C. 
Should any of these regulations conflict or be inconsistent with any provision of the Zoning Ordinance, such provisions of the Zoning Ordinance shall apply.[1]
