Subdivisions should be designed with a street network which provides safe, adequate access to all lots within the subdivision. Extension of a public access to an adjoining property should be considered in the subdivision design where a compelling public need is deemed necessary for orderly development of these adjoining properties. However, the design of the local street network in a subdivision should not encourage large amounts of through traffic, the origins and destination of which are external to the subdivision, to use local roads in the subdivision. Due consideration should be given to preserving important natural features, such as trees, ponds, streams, lakes, as well as historical sites which are of value to the county as a whole.
