In order to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the present and future population of Federalsburg, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall refuse to approve any proposed subdivision when such subdivision would bring about the development of land which is unsuitable for such development due to flooding, lack of drainage, excessive erosive action by water, unstabilized slope or fill, impacting of sensitive areas or Critical Area habitat protection areas, or other conditions which may cause danger to life, health or property, or aggravate erosion or flood hazards.
In keeping with the guidelines as stated in the Federalsburg Comprehensive Plan, adopted in January 1997, the Town's desire is to create more single-family residential neighborhoods versus multifamily housing.
