[Amended 12-1-1988 by L.L. No. 9-1988]
By the authority of the resolution of the Village Board of the
Village of Mount Morris adopted on July 11, 1974,[1] pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the Village
Law of the State of New York, the Planning Board of the Village of
Mount Morris 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 the County and to conditionally
approve preliminary plats within the Village.
A.
It is 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 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 and that proper provisions shall be made for
drainage, water supply, sewerage and other needed improvements.
B.
All proposed lots shall be so laid out and of such a size as to be
in harmony with the development pattern of neighboring properties.
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 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, and proper provisions 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 shall be known as the "Village of Mount
Morris Land Subdivision Regulations," having been adopted by the Planning
Board on March 5, 1975, and approved by the Village Board on March
6, 1975.
