The following principles and standards are consistent with good subdivision design when applied to the rural, low-density-of-population character of the Town. It is not the intent of the Commission to establish a rigid form of design, but rather to give the developer freedom to lay out his property into a safe, sanitary, and desirable development, to conserve natural features and scenic areas, while achieving the maximum benefit to himself, to the residents and the Town itself. The subdivision plan must conform to the following requirements.
A. 
The subdivision map shall conform to all requirements for filing with the Town Clerk as part of the land records of the Town.
B. 
The property:
(1) 
On land contiguous to brooks, rivers or other bodies of water subject to flooding, proper provision shall be made by the developer for protective flood control measures as required by the Zoning Regulations in the Section dealing with the establishment of flood hazard areas.[1] Land subject to flooding and land otherwise deemed by the Commission to be unsuitable for residential use because of hazard to health, safety or property shall not be subdivided for residential occupancy nor for any use which might increase the hazard.

Editor's Note: See Ch. 495, Zoning Regulations, Article XI, Flood Hazard Reduction Provisions.
(2) 
When the proposed subdivision covers only a part of an existing tract or only a part of the subdivider's holding, a preliminary plan of the prospective street system of the remainder of the holding or tract shall be submitted.
When a subdivision is proposed, the area of which abuts or includes land in an adjoining municipality, the Commission shall submit a copy of the maps and plans to the Regional Planning Agency at least 30 days before approving the subdivision.
