A. 
The Town Board of the Town of Perinton, in accordance with §§ 276 and 277 of Article 16 of the Town Law of the State of New York, and by resolution adopted on January 25, 1929, has assigned to the Planning Board the responsibility and authority to review and approve, modify and approve or disapprove plans for land subdivision within the Town but outside of any incorporated village which show lots, blocks or sites, with or without new streets or highways. Pursuant to the above authority, as well as § 271 of Article 16 of the Town Law, the Planning Board has prepared and adopted these Land Subdivision Regulations setting forth standards to be followed in the preparation and review of preliminary layouts and subdivision plats. By the same authority, the Planning Board has the power and authority to pass and approve the development of plats already filed in the office of the Clerk of Monroe County if such plats are entirely or partially undeveloped.
B. 
The Town Board has granted the Planning Board the use of § 278 of the Town Law which allows the Planning Board to accept the submission of alternate plans for the purpose of preserving open space within any development. Within an R-T-1-2-5, an R-T-2-5 or a Residential-Sensitive Zoning District, the Planning Board may mandate the use of § 278 of the Town Law.
A. 
The following regulations, adopted by the Planning Board of the Town of Perinton, provide guidance to all applicants who seek approval of subdivision plats. The general purpose of establishing subdivision regulations is to provide for the orderly growth and development of the Town and to afford adequate facilities for the housing, transportation, distribution, comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of the Town's present and future population and provide for flexibility in design and preserve the natural and scenic qualities of open land.
B. 
These regulations establish requirements for approval of subdivision plats, including a description of maps and supporting materials which the Planning Board requires to carry out its responsibilities under these regulations. The review and approval procedures contained herein are designed to safeguard the community. They assure that the requirements and standards for land subdivision contained herein are fulfilled and that the public health, safety and welfare are thereby protected.
In order that land may be subdivided in accordance with this purpose, these regulations are hereby adopted and shall be known and may be cited as the "Subdivision Regulations of the Town of Perinton."
Upon the approval of these regulations by the Town Board, subdivisions within the Town of Perinton, but outside the limits of any incorporated village, shall be designed and submitted for approval in compliance with the standards and procedures set forth herein.
Where these regulations impose greater restrictions than are imposed by the provision of any law, ordinance, regulation or private agreement, these regulations shall control. Where greater restrictions are imposed by any law, ordinance, regulation or private agreement than are imposed by these regulations, such greater restrictions shall not be affected by these regulations.
It is declared to be the policy of the Planning Board to consider land subdivisions as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Town and in a manner that is reasonable and in the best interests of the community. The Planning Board will be guided in its consideration of an application for the subdivision of land by the following general requirements:
A. 
Land must be buildable and free of hazard. The physical characteristics of the land to be subdivided shall be such that it can be used for building purposes without danger to health and safety or peril from fire, flood, erosion or other menace. Proper provision shall be made for stormwater drainage, water supply, sewage disposal, ingress, egress and other needed improvements.
B. 
Natural and historic features shall be reserved. Insofar as possible, all existing features of the landscape, such as large trees, rock outcrops, unusual glacial formations, water and flood courses, wetlands, historic sites and other such irreplaceable and environmentally sensitive areas and assets, should be preserved.
C. 
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and other laws.
(1) 
Subdivisions shall be in conformance with the Town Comprehensive Plan and all other local ordinances. Subdivisions shall conform to the streets, parks and other public ways or spaces shown on the Official Map of the Town, if any. 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. Park areas of suitable location, size and character for playground or other recreational or open space purposes shall be shown on the subdivision plat in proper cases and when required by the Planning Board.
(2) 
The Planning Board, in reviewing a subdivision application, shall take into account the provisions of Chapter 208, Zoning, of the Town Code; Part 617, 6 NYCRR (SEQR); and other powers granted by state or local law.
Whenever access to a subdivision can be had only across land in another municipality, the Planning Board may request assurance from the Perinton Town Attorney that access is legally established and from the Perinton Town Engineer and the Department of Public Works that the access road is adequately improved or that a performance bond has been duly executed and is sufficient in amount to assure the construction of the access road. In general, lot lines should be laid out so as not to cross Town boundary lines.
