[Amended 2-9-1987 by L.L. No. 1-1987]
The Town Board of the Town of Bath, after considering the recommendations of the Town of Bath Planning Board, shall approve or disapprove plats for subdivision within the unincorporated area of the Town of Bath.
A. 
In order that land in the Town of Bath may be subdivided in accordance with the policy set forth herein, this chapter is hereby adopted and shall be known and may be cited as the "Town of Bath Land Subdivision Regulations."
B. 
These Land Subdivision Regulations were adopted by the Planning Board after a duly advertised public hearing. They were then approved by the Town Board on August 14, 1967, at which time they went into effect.
It is declared to be the policy of the Town of Bath Planning Board to consider land subdivision plats as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the town. This shall be interpreted to include the following objectives which shall guide the Planning Board's decisions:
A. 
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.
B. 
Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water supply, sewerage and other needed improvements and utilities.
C. 
Proposed streets shall compose a convenient system conforming to the Official Map (as it may be adopted) and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the Town Plan (as it may be adopted).
D. 
Streets shall be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate prospective traffic, to afford adequate light and air and to facilitate fire protection.
E. 
Park areas of suitable location, size and character for playground or other recreational purposes shall be shown on the subdivision plat, wherever appropriate.
Should any provision of this chapter conflict or be inconsistent with any provision of the Town Law, such provision of the Town Law shall apply.
Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the subdivider from placing self-imposed restrictions not in violation of this chapter on the development. Such restrictions, however, shall be indicated on the plat.
