It is declared to be the policy of the Mamaroneck 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 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 or other menace; that proper provision shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewage 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 comprise a convenient system conforming to the Official Map and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on such portions of the Master Plan as may be in existence at any time and shall be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic, to afford adequate light and air, 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 Mamaroneck Land Subdivision Regulations," have been adopted by the Planning Board and approved by the Board of Trustees.
