The zoning districts and regulations as herein established have
been made in accordance with a comprehensive plan for the purpose
of promoting the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
village, and for the protection and preservation of places and areas
of historical and cultural importance and significance. They have
been designed to regulate and restrict the height, number of stories
and size of buildings and other structures and to protect citizens
and residents from the effects of severe weather conditions upon dwellings
not designed or fabricated to withstand the same; to preserve and
protect the cultural and recreational and aesthetic importance and
significance of this village and to its citizens and property owners,
and to lessen congestion and noise in the streets and roads; to secure
safety from fire, panic and disease and other dangers; to provide
light, air and prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration
of population; to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation,
water, sewers, schools, parks and other public requirements; and with
a view of conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most
appropriate use of land and the body of water throughout the village.
