It is the purpose of this subchapter to require site plan review approval for certain buildings, structures, and uses that can be expected to have a significant impact on natural resources, environmental quality, traffic patterns and the character of future development in the vicinity. It is typical for applicants to request that a planning commission accept a "napkin" type site plan drawing for site plan approval. Unfortunately, it is difficult to use informal methods as a proper way of providing for the health, safety and welfare of village residents. The Village Council and Planning Commission realize that suitable site plans require an applicant to spend some time and money. It is the village's belief that the end result of suitable site plan development will allow plans to be properly reviewed for health, safety and welfare issues. In addition, many problems that may have been encountered in or after the project development process are often averted. Averting problems through a planning process can save the applicant and community time and money. The requirements for site plans in this subchapter are intended to reduce hazards to life and property due to fire, flooding, soil erosion, inadequate surface water drainage, inadequate sewage disposal systems, pollution, dust, fumes, noise, vibration, noxious odors, and other hazards; and to facilitate the provision of a system of roads, streets, parking, municipal sewage disposal, storm sewers, municipal water supply, public education, and other public needs. These requirements are further intended to promote orderly development and harmonious design in order to conserve the value of existing development and property.
