A.
Authority. By the authority of the resolution of the
Board of Trustees of the Village of Florida adopted on November 29, 1974,
pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the Village Law of the State of
New York, the Planning Board of the Village of Florida 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 Orange County in which such
plats are located prior to the appointment of such Planning Board and to approve
plats within the limits of the Incorporated Village of Florida.
B.
Policy and purpose. It is declared to be the policy and
purpose of the Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of
a plan for the orderly, efficient, coordinated and economical development
of the Village and affording adequate facilities for the housing, transportation,
distribution, comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of its population.
This means, among other things:
(1)
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.
(2)
That proper provision shall be made for the preservation
of natural assets such as streams, ponds, trees, etc., drainage, water supply,
sewerage and other needed improvements.
(4)
That the proposed streets shall compose a convenient
system conforming to the Official Map, if such exists, and shall be properly
related to the proposals shown on the Master or Comprehensive Plan, if such
exists, 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.
(5)
That proper provision shall be made for open spaces for
parks and playgrounds.
(6)
Recognition of a desirable relationship of the land form,
its topography and geology, to natural drainage and surface water runoff and
to the groundwater table.
(7)
Encouragement of that variety and flexibility in residential
development provided for in the Zoning Law, including clustering of lots.
C.
Adoption. 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 Florida Land Subdivision Regulations,"
have been adopted by the Planning Board on November 18, 1974, and approved
by the Board of Trustees on November 29, 1974.
D.
Notification. The Clerk of the Village, said Village
having authorized its Planning Board to approve plats showing lots, blocks
or sites with or without streets or highways or the entire or partial development
of plats filed in the office of the clerk of the county in which such plats
are located, or to conditionally approve preliminary plats, as provided in
these regulations, shall immediately file a certificate of the fact with the
clerk or register of the county in which such Village is located. Such certificate
was recorded by the County Clerk on May 10, 1957.
