This chapter is intended to establish subdivision
standards to assist in the orderly, efficient and integrated development
of land. These standards shall promote appropriate development practices,
ensure conformance with Frederick County's Comprehensive Plan and
County Code and provide for the public's health, safety, convenience,
comfort, prosperity and general welfare. These standards shall guide
public and private actions to ensure that adequate and efficient systems
are provided for transportation, water, sewerage, fire protection,
drainage, erosion control, recreation, open space and other public
services and utilities to promote the development of an economically
sound and stable community. This chapter shall provide for reasonable
survey standards to ensure proper subdivision layout, appropriate
recordation of all land divisions, legal descriptions, monument placement
on urban land and appropriate procedures and standards for land development.
