The purpose of this chapter is to regulate and control the subdivision of land within the corporate limits of the village in order to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community. They are designed to lessen congestion in streets and roadways; to further the orderly layout and use of land; to ensure proper legal description and proper monumenting of subdivided lands; to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land and avoid undue concentration of population; to facilitate adequate provisions for transportation, water, sewerage, open space, recreational areas and other public requirements; and to facilitate the further resubdivision of larger tracts into small parcels of land.
