Editor's Note: Said resolution is on file
in the Village offices.
[Amended 8-11-1997 by L.L. No. 4-1997]
It is considered to be the policy of the Village
Planning Board to consider land subdivisions 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
safely for building purposes without danger to health or peril from
fire, flood, drainage or other menace. Proper provisions shall be
made for drainage, water, sewerage and other needed improvements.
The proposed streets shall compose a convenient system conforming
to the Official Map, as it may be adopted by the Board of Trustees,
and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the Village
Master Plan as it may be adopted by the Planning Board. Streets shall
be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate the prospective
traffic, to afford adequate light and air, and to facilitate fire
protection. In proper cases, there shall be reservation of park areas
of suitable location, size and character for playground or other recreational
purposes.
In order that land may be subdivided in accordance
with this policy, these regulations are hereby adopted.
Should any of these regulations conflict or
be inconsistent with any provisions of the Village Law, the relative
provisions of the Village Law shall apply. If any section, subsection,
paragraph, sentence, clause or other part of these regulations is
for any reason held invalid, the validity of the remaining portion
of these regulations shall not be affected.
Whenever access to the subdivision can be had
only across land in another municipality, the Planning Board may request
assurance from the Village Attorney that access is legally established
and from the Village Engineer that the access road is adequately improved,
or that a performance bond has been duly executed and is sufficient
in amount to assure the construction of the access road. In general,
lot lines should be laid out so as not to cross village boundary lines.
For a resubdivision, the same procedure, rules
and regulations shall apply as for a subdivision.
For the purpose of these regulations, certain
words and terms used herein are defined as follows:
The maps or drawings accompanying a subdivision plat and
showing the specific location and design of improvements to be installed
in the subdivision in accordance with the requirements of the Planning
Board as a condition to the approval of said plat.
Authorization by a property owner for the use by another,
and for a specified purpose, of any designated part of his or her
property.
A comprehensive plan for development of the village prepared
and adopted by the Planning Board pursuant to § 7-722 of
the Village Law, and includes any part of such plan separately adopted
and any amendment to such plan or parts thereof.
[Amended 8-11-1997 by L.L. No. 4-1997]
The map established by the Board of Trustees under § 7-724
of the Village Law, showing the streets, highways and parks theretofore
laid out, adopted and established by law and any amendments or additions
thereto adopted by the Board of Trustees, or additions thereto resulting
from the approval of subdivision plats by the Planning Board and the
subsequent filing of such approved plats.
[Amended 8-11-1997 by L.L. No. 4-1997]
The date on which a subdivision plat is officially submitted to the Planning Board pursuant to § 7-728 of the Village Law, and is hereby defined as the date of the next regular meeting of the Planning Board following completion of the application procedure outlined in § 210-10 of these regulations. If a meeting is not called within 30 days of completion of such procedure, the official submittal date shall be considered to be the expiration date of such thirty-day period.
