This chapter are prepared to further the purposes set forth in Chapter 126 of the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut, as amended, and for the promotion of greater efficiency and economy, the coordinated development of the Town and the general welfare and prosperity of its people. It is declared to be the policy of the Commission to consider land subdivision as part of a plan for the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Town. Accordingly, land to be subdivided shall be of such character that it can be used for building purposes without danger to health and public safety. Proper provision shall be made for water supply, drainage and sanitary sewerage, and in areas contiguous to brooks, rivers or other bodies of water subject to flooding, proper provision shall be made for protective flood and erosion control measures. Proposed roads shall be in harmony with existing roads and/or existing or proposed principal thoroughfares especially with regard to safe intersections and shall be so arranged and of such right-of-way width as to provide an adequate and convenient system for present and future traffic needs. When and in places deemed proper by the Commission open spaces, parks and playgrounds shall be shown on the subdivision plan; and adequate access to properties for emergency equipment shall be provided. The number or loss proposed for any area shall not be greater than the number deemed by the Commission to be the maximum number which can be laid out without substantially impairing the health, safety and welfare of inhabitants, with respect to water, drainage, flooding, traffic, parks and playgrounds. Proper provision shall be made for sedimentation control, and the control of erosion caused by wind and water.
A. 
The regulations are further intended to encourage energy-efficient patterns of development and land use, the use of solar and other renewable forms of energy, and energy conservation. A person submitting a plan for subdivision to the Commission shall demonstrate to the Commission that in developing the plan the applicant has considered using Passive Solar Energy Techniques which would not significantly increase the cost of the housing to the buyer, after tax credits, subsidies and exemptions.
