This chapter shall be known as the "Subdivision Control Law of the Village of West Carthage."
The purpose of this chapter is to provide for an orderly, efficient growth within the community and to afford adequate facilities for the transportation, housing, comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of its population.
This Subdivision Control Law shall be administered by the Planning Board and the Subdivision Inspector.
When in the opinion of the Planning Board undue individual hardship may result from strict compliance with this chapter, it may modify the application of this chapter, with a majority approval, so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such modification will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter. In the case of a large-scale development, such as a neighborhood unit plan, which would include provisions for housing, shopping and recreation facilities, the Planning Board may modify this chapter, with a majority vote, provided that such development shall include covenants, restrictions and other legal provisions necessary to guarantee full achievement of such a proposed plan.
