The Village Council of the Vil- lage of Orono ordains: That the following regulations be, and the same are, hereby adopted and approved; Lind shall be known as and may be cited as "Village of ")rozio Subdivision Rego' ions." In order to safeguard the best Interests of the Village of Orono and to assist a subdivider in har- monizing his interests with those of the Village at large, this ordi- nance is adopted in the hope that adherence to it will bring results beneficial to all concerned. It is obvious that piecemeal planning of subdivisions will bring a disastrous disconnected patchwork of pattern and poor circulation of traffic unless its design and arrangement are cor- related to a Master Plan Study aiming at a unified scheme of community interests. It is, there- fore, necessary for the Orono Village Council to make certain regulations a n d requirements which contribute to the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the corni.•unity. In the long range analysts, the Fan- mrig Commission believes these regulations will aid in raising pro�Xrty values for the subdivid- er and will effect many economies in the platting and development of a logical subdivision "4ubdivision" in this ordinance met,ns the division of a parcel of land into two (2) or more lots or pet+:eb for the purpose of trans- ter of ownership or budding de- velepment; provided that a divi- stor, of land for agricultural pur- poses Into lots or parcels of five (5) KTes or more and not involv- ing a new street or alley shall not be deemed a subdivision.
