In any area not protected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
hurricane barriers, each lot shall be serviced with streets providing
a route out of the subdivision, no part of which route lies below
the thirteen-foot elevation above mean sea level (M.S. L.).
Fencing shall be required in subdivisions abutting limited or
controlled access highways or expressways, or other limited or controlled
access roads. Fencing may be required in other areas where physical
features require such safety.
Guardrails shall be provided at points of hazard along the roadway,
such as fixed objects and the pavement edge, high fills, fills on
sharp curvature, along watercourses, steep cliffs, along deep ditches
in cuts and similar locations as required by the MA Highway and Bridge
Standards (4:1 slopes). Type and installation of guardrails shall
be approved by the BPW.
All natural features, such as large trees, watercourses, scenic
points, historic plots, stonewalls and similar community assets shall
be preserved, if, in the opinion of the Planning Board, they will
add attractiveness and value to the subdivision.
Not more than one building designed or available for dwelling
purposes shall be erected or placed or converted to use as such on
any lot in a subdivision or elsewhere within the Town without the
consent of the Planning Board, which shall be granted only for structures
in compliance with zoning restrictions, and only upon the Board finding
that adequate ways furnishing access to each site for such buildings
have been provided in the same manner as otherwise required for lots
within a subdivision.
In case a tract is subdivided into larger parcels capable of
being subdivided, such parcels shall be arranged so as to allow the
logical and economic extension of streets, utility easements, drainageways
and public areas into such parcels.
