§ 15-4. Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures and standards for the development and subdivision of land within the territorial jurisdiction of the town. It is further designed to provide for the orderly growth and development of the town; for the coordination of streets and highways within proposed subdivisions with existing or planned streets and highways and with other public facilities and of rights-of-way of easements for street and utility purposes and for the distribution of population and traffic in a manner that will avoid congestion and overcrowding and will create conditions essential to public health, safety, and the general welfare. This chapter is designed to further facilitate adequate provision of water and sewerage and to facilitate the further resubdivision of larger tracts into smaller parcels of land.
