               The purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures and standards for the development
               and subdivision of land within the territorial jurisdiction of the county. It is further
               designed to provide for the orderly growth and development of the county; for the
               coordination of streets and highways within proposed subdivisions with existing or
               planned streets and highways, and with other public facilities; to ensure proper legal
               description and proper monumenting of subdivided land; to secure safety from fire,
               panic and other dangers; for the dedication or reservation of recreation areas serving
               residents of the immediate neighborhood within the subdivision and of rights-of-way
               or easements for street and utility purposes; and for the distribution of population
               and traffic in a manner that will avoid congestion and overcrowding and will create
               conditions essential to public health, safety, and the general welfare. This chapter
               is designed to further facilitate adequate provision of water, sewerage, general services,
               parks, schools, and playgrounds, and also to facilitate the further resubdivision
               of larger tracts into smaller parcels of land.
