By authority of a resolution adopted by the
Town Board pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law,
the Planning Board has the power and authority to approve plats for
subdivisions within the unincorporated area of the Town.
A.
It is the policy of the Town Planning Board to consider
land subdivisions as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and
economical development of the Town. 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, sewage and other needed
improvements. The proposed streets shall compose a convenient system,
conforming to the Official Map, if any, and shall be properly related
to the proposals shown on the Town Plan, if any, adopted by the Planning
Board.
B.
Streets shall be of such a width, grade and location
as to accommodate the prospective traffic, to afford light and air,
and to facilitate fire protection. In proper cases, park areas of
suitable location, size and character for a playground or other recreational
purposes shall be shown on the subdivision plat.
