A.
It is declared to be the policy of the Town Planning
Board to consider land subdivisions as part of a plan for the orderly,
efficient and economical development of the Town. 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. Proper provision shall be made for drainage, water, sewerage
and other needed improvements. The proposed streets shall compose
a convenient system conforming to the Official Map and shall be properly
related to the proposals shown on the Master Plan, if and when such
a plan is adopted by the Planning Board. Streets shall be of such
width, grade and location as to accommodate the prospective traffic,
to afford adequate light and air and to facilitate fire protection.
In proper cases, park areas of suitable location, size and character
for playground or other recreational purposes shall be shown on the
subdivision plat.
B.
Should any of this chapter conflict or be inconsistent
with any provision of the Town Law, such provision of the Town Law
shall apply. In order that land may be subdivided in accordance with
this policy, this chapter is hereby adopted.
