A.
It is declared to be the policy of the Village Planning
Board to consider land subdivision as part of a plan for the orderly,
efficient and economical development of the Village. Land to be subdivided
shall be of such character that it can be used for building purpose
without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace.
Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water, sewerage and other
needed improvements. The proposed streets shall compose a convenient
system conforming to the Official Map[1] of the Village as it may be adopted and to the Official
Map of the county as it may be adopted and shall be properly related
to the proposals shown in the Village Comprehensive Plan adopted by
the Planning Board September 20, 1965, and as it may be amended. Streets
shall be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate to prospective
traffic, to afford adequate light and air and to facilitate fire protection.
In proper cases, park areas of suitable location, size and character
for playgrounds or other recreational purposes shall be provided.
