Editor's Note: These regulations were adopted
under the Subdivision Control Law, MGL. c. 41, § 81K to
81GG, inclusive. The purpose of said law, as stated in MGL c. 41,
§ 81M, reads as follows:
"The Subdivision Control Law has been enacted
for the purpose of protecting the safety, convenience and welfare
of the inhabitants of the cities and Town in which it is, or may hereafter
be, put in effect, by regulating the laying out and construction of
ways in subdivisions providing access to the several lots therein
but which have not become public ways and ensuring sanitary conditions
in subdivisions and, in proper cases, parks and open areas. The powers
of a Planning Board and of a Board of Appeals under the Subdivision
Control Law shall be exercised with due regard for the provision of
adequate access to all of the lots in a subdivision by ways that will
be safe and convenient for travel; for lessening congestion in such
ways and in the adjacent public way; for reducing danger to life and
limb in the operation of motor vehicles; for securing safety in the
case of fire, flood, panic and other emergencies; for ensuring compliance
with applicable zoning ordinances or bylaws; for securing adequate
provision for water, sewerage, drainage and other requirements where
necessary in a subdivision; and for coordinating the ways in a subdivision
with each other and with the public ways in the City or Town in which
it is located and with the ways in neighboring subdivisions."
