9.2 Subdivision design standards.
The operating principle upon which land areas are subdivided is maintaining compatibility between the
Town's natural and built environments. Just as architectural creativity is encouraged for the design of structures,
so is site engineering sensitivity expected for open space preservation as well as the placement of all humanmade
improvements.
