Because each new subdivision accepted by the Village becomes
a permanent unit in the basic physical structure of the future community,
and to which the future community will, of necessity, be forced to
adhere, all subdivisions hereafter planned within the incorporated
limits of the Village, and within the unincorporated area lying 1 1/2
miles beyond the corporate limits, shall, in all respects, be in full
compliance with the regulations hereinafter contained in this chapter.
These regulations are designed to provide for the orderly and harmonious
development of the Village, for the coordination of streets within
new subdivisions with other existing or planned streets, and to secure
a uniform system of utilities and services, and otherwise to promote
realization of the Comprehensive Plan.
