By the authority of the resolution of the Village Board of the Village
of Norwood, New York, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 64 of the Village
Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of the Village of Norwood,
New York, is authorized and empowered to approve plats showing lots, blocks
or sites, with or without streets or highways, to approve the development
of entirely or partially undeveloped plats already filed in the office of
the Clerk of the county and to conditionally approve preliminary plats within
the Village of Norwood.
It is declared to be the policy of the 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 the site
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, sewerage 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 compose
a convenient system conforming to the Official Map and shall be properly related
to the proposals shown on the Comprehensive Plan and shall be of such width,
grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic, 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 Norwood Subdivision Regulations," have been approved by
the Village Board and adopted by the Village Planning Board.
