Editor's Note: The Planning Board, which had
been abolished on December 4, 1978, was reestablished as a five-member
board by a resolution of the Board of Trustees on August 4, 1980.
A.
It is declared to be the policy of the Village Planning
Board to consider land subdivision plats within the context of an
overall 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; that proper provision shall be made for storm drainage, water
supply, sewage disposal and other needed improvements; and 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 and shall be properly related to the proposals shown
on such portions of the Village Plan as may be in existence at any
time and shall be of such width, grade and location as to accommodate
the prospective traffic, to afford adequate light and air, to facilitate
fire protection and to provide access of fire-fighting equipment to
buildings; and that, in proper cases, provides open spaces for parks,
recreation, watersheds, conservation areas and recharge basins; and,
where conditions warrant, easements giving access to water frontage
shall be shown on the subdivision plat.
B.
Should any of these regulations conflict or be inconsistent
with any provision of the Village Law, the relevant provisions of
the Village Law shall apply.
C.
