In order to make the most of the opportunities related to the subdivision of land and to conserve time, effort and expense, the owner or subdivider should consult with the Building Commissioner prior to the preparation of the primary plan of the subdivision. School and recreational sites; shopping centers; community facilities; sanitation, water supply and drainage; and relationship to other developments, existing and proposed, in the vicinity, should be determined in advance of the preparation of the subdivision plan. Consultation should also be held with those familiar with the economic factors affecting the subdivision. A review of the overall situation will result in sound decisions with respect to the form, character and extent of the proposed subdivision. No land shall be subdivided for residential use unless adequate access to the land over improved streets or thoroughfare exists or will be provided by subdivider, or if such land is considered by the Commission to be unsuitable for such use by reason of flooding or improper drainage, objectionable earth and rock formation, topography or any other feature harmful to the health and safety of possible residents and the community as a whole. The same shall apply to the utilities commonly provided within the town limits.
