By the authority of the resolution of the Town
Board of the Town of Hamptonburgh adopted on April 10, 1961, pursuant
to the provisions of Article 16 of the Town Law of the State of New
York, the Planning Board of the Town of Hamptonburgh is authorized
and empowered to approve plats showing lots, blocks or sites, with
or without street or highways, and to approve the development of entirely
or partially undeveloped plats already filed in the office of the
Clerk of the county within that part of the Town of Hamptonburgh outside
the limits of any incorporated city or village.
It is declared the policy of the Planning Board
to consider the development of land in the Town of Hamptonburgh as
part of a plan for the orderly, economic and efficient development
of the town.
A. All land to be developed shall be of such character
that it can be used safely for building purposes without danger or
peril from flood or other menace.
B. Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water
supply, sewerage and other improvements.
C. All proposed development shall be so designed within
the site, lots or blocks as to be in harmony with the development
pattern of adjacent properties and the Town of Hamptonburgh Comprehensive
Master Plan.
D. Proper provision shall be made for permanent reservations
of open spaces for parks, recreation and for protection of natural
drainage and environmental features.
E. Future development must demonstrate that existing
municipal improvements are adequate to service such new development.
F. Future community improvements required to support
future development, such as road, water and sewer, shall preferably
be public improvements.
In order that development shall be designed
and constructed in accordance with the above-stated policies, this
chapter, which shall be known as and which may be cited as the "Town
of Hamptonburgh Subdivision Regulations," has been adopted by the
Town Board.
A violation of this chapter shall be enforceable
by separate ordinance of the Town Board under the applicable provisions
of the New York State Town Law; provided, however, that nothing in
this chapter shall prevent injunctive relief to the Town of Hamptonburgh
or action by residents or parties in interest under any applicable
provisions of law.
