A.
By the authority of the resolution of the Town Board
of the Town of Parma, pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of
the Town Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of the Town
of Parma 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 Monroe County, and to conditionally
approve preliminary plats, within that part of the Town of Parma outside
the limits of any incorporated village.
A.
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 town. 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, 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, if such exists, 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.
B.
Insofar as possible, all existing features of the
landscape such as large trees, rock outcrops, watercourses, historic
sites and other irreplaceable assets should be preserved through an
imaginative design of the subdivision.
In order that land subdivision may be made in
accordance with this policy, these regulations, which shall be known
as and which may be cited as the "Town of Parma Land Subdivision Regulations,"
have been adopted by the Planning Board on December 1, 1988, and approved
by the Town Board on January 24, 1989.
