§ 46-1. Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures and standards for the development and subdivision of land within the corporate limits of the town. It is further designed to provide for the orderly growth and development of the town for the coordination of transportation networks and utilities within proposed subdivisions with existing or planned streets and highways and with other public facilities, for the dedication or reservation of recreation areas serving residents of the immediate neighborhood within the subdivision and of rights-of-way or 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 that substantially promote the public's health, safety and general welfare. This chapter is designed to further facilitate adequate provision of water, sewer, parks, schools, and playgrounds, and also to facilitate the further resubdivision of larger tracts into smaller parcels of land.
