At this meeting the Plan ning Board recommended that the regulations, which were prepared by the County Plan ning Board in conjunction with the North Carolina Department of Conservation and Develop ment's Division of Community Planning, be considered by the commissioners and that a pub lic hearing be held on the pro posal. Marvin Newsom, chairman ol the Planning Board, pointed out that the subdivision regu I lations provided controls foi I platting vacant land into res I idential lots and blocks, anc ! should not be confused wit! zoning. The tpye of us", 01 manner in which the land i< used is regulated by zoning Subdivision regulations, how ever, which the Planning Boart are recommending, providi minimum requirements for the development of land for resi dential uses. In general, New som said, these requirements are things which any good sub division must have to provide valuable lots for new develop ment. It was brought out at the | meeting, that the process of converting raw land into home sites is one of the most im portant factors in the growth of any community or county. Few activities, Newsom said, have a more lasting effect upon appearance and environ ment. Once the land has been subdivided and the streets and homes constructed, the basic character of this permanent ad dition has ? become firmly es tablished. Poorly planned de velopments can only result in decreased tax revenues through deterioration of property values and cause shifting of popula tion to other better planned areas. Jerry Turner, a planner with the Division of Community Planning, indicated that the proposed subdivision regula tions are necessary to: 1. Insure that .future sub divisions will fit nto the gen eral plan for the physical de velopment of the county; 2. Provide for uniform stand ards in the development of subdivisions ( street widths, street layouts, utilities, drain age, lot sizes, etc.); 3. To provide a basis for ac curate and official property boundary records; 4. Promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of i all citizens.
