By the authority of the resolutions of the Board
of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck adopted on June 29, 1927, as amended February 25, 1963, and October 31, 1963, pursuant to the provisions of Article 6-A of the Village
Law (Chapter 64 of the Consolidated Laws of New York), the Planning Board of the Village of Mamaroneck was authorized
and empowered to approve plats for subdivisions within the limits
of said village.
It is declared to be the policy of the Mamaroneck
Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan
for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the village.
This means, among other things, that land to be subdivided shall be
of such character that it can be used safely for building purposes
without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace;
that proper provision shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewage
and other needed improvements; that all proposed lots shall be so
laid out and of such size as to be in harmony with the development
pattern of the neighboring properties; that the proposed streets shall
comprise a convenient system conforming to the Official Map and shall
be properly related to the proposals shown on such portions of the
Master Plan as may be in existence at any time and shall be of such
width, grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic,
to afford adequate light and air, to facilitate fire protection and
to provide access of fire-fighting equipment to buildings; and that
proper provision shall be made for open spaces for parks and playgrounds.
In order that land subdivisions may be made
in accordance with this policy, these regulations, which shall be
known as and which may be cited as the "Village of Mamaroneck Land
Subdivision Regulations," have been adopted by the Planning Board
and approved by the Board of Trustees.
