This means, among other things, that land to be subdivided
shall be of such character that it can be used safely for building
purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other
menace; that proper provision shall be made for drainage, water supply,
sewerage and other needed improvements; that all proposed lots shall
be so laid out and of such size as to be in harmony with the development
pattern of the neighboring properties; that existing property values
are protected; that the proposed streets shall compose a convenient
system and shall be properly related to the proposals shown on the
Town of Stillwater Comprehensive Plan and shall be of such width,
grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic, to facilitate
fire protection and to provide access of fire-fighting equipment to
buildings; and that proper provision shall be made for open spaces
for parks and playgrounds. In order that land subdivisions may be
made in accordance with this policy, this chapter, which shall be
known as and which may be cited as the "Town of Stillwater Land Subdivision
Regulations," has been adopted by the Planning Board on December 28,
1981, and approved by the Town Board on January 7, 1982, and as subsequently
amended and adopted by the Planning Board on March 3, 2003.
