PREFACE <br />This planning report is designed to assist Village officials <br />in making the day-to-day decisions required for proper long- <br />range maintenance and development of the Community environment. <br />The State Legislature has found that communities are faced <br />with mounting problems in providing means of guiding future <br />development of land so as to insure a safer, more pleasant, <br />and more economical environment. Further, the Legislature's <br />planning and development policy states - "Municipal planning <br />by providing public guides to future municipal action, enables <br />other public and private agencies to plan their activities in <br />harmony with the municipality's plans. Municipal planning <br />will assist in developing lands more wisely to serve citizens <br />more effectively, will make the provision of public services <br />less costly, and will achieve a more secure tax base." It <br />is the purpose of the Municipal Planning Act to provide <br />municipalities with the necessary powers and a uniform procedure <br />for adequately conducting and implementing municipal planning. <br />
