(a) Development shall conform in effect to the Master Plan as adopted.
(b) The proposed subdivision and its ultimate use shall be in the best interests of the public welfare and the neighborhood development of the area.
(c) The tract to be subdivided should not encroach upon an area or areas designated in the comprehensive plan for future public facilities. Such area or areas shall be incorporated in the drawing and reserved for a period of one year after approval thereof, or for a longer period as may be mutually agreed, to allow the Municipality, or other appropriate agencies, time to acquire such land.
(d) Variations, exceptions and/or modifications of these rules and regulations may be made by the Planning Commission in specific cases where it is deemed that unusual topographical or other exceptional conditions require such modification or adjustment of these subdivision requirements, provided that such plats are self- contained and do not encroach unfavorably on or interfere with the most normal development of abutting properties.
