Under the authority vested in the Planning Board
of the Town of Westminster by MGL c. 41, said Board hereby adopts
these rules and regulations governing the subdivision of land in the
Town of Westminster. Such rules and regulations shall be effective
on the 10th day of December, 1970.
No plan of a subdivision shall be approved unless all of the lots shown on the plan comply with Chapter 205, Zoning.
Not more than one building designed or available
for use for dwelling purposes shall be erected or placed or converted
to use as such on any lot in a subdivision or elsewhere in the Town
of Westminster without the consent of the Planning Board and that
such consent may be conditioned upon provision of adequate ways furnishing
access to each site for such building in the same manner as otherwise
required for lots within a subdivision.
For matters not covered by these rules and regulations,
reference is made to MGL c. 41, §§ 81K to 81GG, inclusive,
and any amendments thereto.
When, in accordance with the statute, the Board
of Health reports, in writing, to the Planning Board that certain
lots within a proposed subdivision cannot be used as building sites
without injury to the public health, Planning Board approval of any
such subdivision plan shall be given only on condition that the lots
so specified shall not thereafter be built upon except with prior
consent, in writing, by the Board of Health.
The invalidity of any section or provision of
these rules and regulations shall not invalidate any other section
or provision thereof.
