All required improvements shall conform to Village
specifications, which may be obtained from the Village Clerk.
[Added 8-4-1986 by L.L. No. 7-1986]
Where real property is subdivided into fewer than five parcels, plots or lots and such subdivision does not involve the laying out of a street or the extension of a previously laid out street, the Board may waive or modify such requirements as are deemed necessary. Reference shall be made to Chapter 163, Zoning, § 163-15, containing district bulk and dimension regulations permitting flag lots. Private roads and common driveways for such subdivisions shall be in accordance with the Village Engineer's recommendation for access requirements.
Where the Board finds that extraordinary and
unnecessary hardships may result from strict compliance with this
chapter, it may waive or modify regulations so that substantial justice
may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such waivers
or modifications will not have the effect of nullifying the intent
and purpose of the Official Map, the Zoning Ordinance,[1] if any, the Village Plan or this chapter.
Where the Board finds that, due to the special
circumstances of a particular plat, the provision of certain required
improvements is not requisite in the interest of the public health,
safety and general welfare or is inappropriate because of inadequacy
or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity to the proposed
subdivision, it may waive such requirements subject to appropriate
conditions.
In granting waivers and modifications, the Board
may require such conditions and guaranties as will, in its judgment,
secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements
so waived or modified.
