This chapter establishes standards and guidelines on the use and development of land by establishing minimum standards as guidelines for managing growth in a direction that will result in an environment satisfactory to the residents and visitors of the town. In many instances, land and improvements were developed or proposals for such were initiated prior to the adoption of this chapter. These situations may not meet the minimum standards contained in this chapter because they were developed under no specific standards or under standards which were less restrictive. The Board recognizes that the strict application of these standards to such situations may create certain hardships for the property owner. Therefore, it is the intent of this subchapter to permit, under certain circumstances, these nonconformities to continue and be brought into greater compliance.
