By authority of the Board of Trustees of the
Village of Southampton, pursuant to the provisions of the Village
Law, the Village of Southampton Planning Board is authorized and empowered
to approve plats showing lots, block or sites, with or without streets
or highways, and to conditionally approve preliminary plats and to
approve the development of plats entirely or partially undeveloped
which were filed in the County Clerk's office prior to the appointment
of the Planning Board and the grant of power to it to approve plats.
The Planning Board is also authorized to review and approve, approve
with modifications or disapprove site plans.
A.
These regulations are established to require that
every person or corporation, except church cemetery organizations,
who, as owner or agent, subdivides real property into lots, plots,
blocks or sites, with or without streets, regardless of how they are
conveyed or for what kind of land use they are intended, files in
the office of the County Clerk a map thereof.
[Amended 11-10-1994 by L.L. No. 11-1994]
B.
The Planning Board declares that these regulations
for the subdivision of land for various purposes are promulgated to
provide for the orderly growth and coordinated development of the
Village and to assure the comfort, convenience, safety, health and
welfare of its people and further declares that the approval of such
subdivisions shall be based on the following considerations:
(2)
Recognition of a desirable relationship to the general
land form, its topographic and geologic character, to natural drainage,
to the recharge of the groundwater reservoir and to floodplain and
ecological concerns.
(3)
Recognition of desirable standards of subdivision
design for pedestrian and vehicular traffic, surface water runoff,
utility services and building sites for the land use contemplated.
(4)
Encouragement of flexible subdivision design to promote
the planning objectives of the Master Plan, to realize development
and maintenance economies and to provide for a variety of housing
types.
(5)
Provision for such facilities as are desirable adjuncts
to the contemplated use, such as parks, recreation areas, school sites,
firehouses, fire wells and off-street parking.
(6)
Preservation and protection of such natural resources
and assets as lakes, ponds, streams, tidal waters, wetlands, beaches,
dunelands, flora, fauna, general scenic beauty and historic features
of the Village.
