A. While it is obvious that regulations are needed to assure orderly extension of village improvements, the other purposes of these regulations are:
1. To ensure sound, harmonious development and community growth, and to safeguard the interest of the owner, the developer, the investor and the village.
2. To provide permanent assets to the locality and to the village.
3. To minimize scattered development beyond existing public utilities and prevent excessive development costs.
4. To assure the development of land for optimum use with necessary protection against deterioration and obsolescence.
5. To limit and control the pollution of the environment that can be caused by inadequate or incomplete urban development.
6. To provide common grounds of understanding and a sound working relationship between the village and the developer.
7. To lessen congestion in the streets and highways.
8. To attempt to provide for adequate light and air.
9. To facilitate adequate provision for transportation, water, sewerage, schools and other public necessities.
10. To ensure proper legal description and proper monumenting of subdivided land.
B. These regulations are established with reasonable consideration of the character of the village with a view toward conserving the value of buildings upon the land and providing the best possible environment for human habitation. It is intended that these regulations shall supplement and facilitate the enforcement of the provisions and development standards contained in the building code, official map regulations, zoning ordinance, the official village comprehensive plan, and the subdivision regulations.
