the major system of highways and serve those who reside adjacent to
them. Access points and intersections should be widely spaced.

lect traffic of intersecting local streets and carry it to the arterials and
highways. They also provide access to abutting properties.

to abutting properties, and designed so as not to encourage through traffic.

quired for satisfactory improvement and use of the street.

manent location on the ground, excluding walks and driveways.

(48)   "Structure, principal": That construction or assembly of mate-
rials which combine to form an occupiable building, dwelling or dwell-

rectly or by breezeway will also be considered principal structure.

(50)   "Subdivision": The division, apportionment, or arrangement of
a lot, tract, or parcel of land so as to provide or permit two or more
lots, sites or portions, whether for rental, lease, sale or gift, whether

This definition of a subdivision shall not include the divisions of land
into ten (10) acres or more for agricultural purpose or uses.

struction and other improvements attendant to his subdivision, if not

isting subdivision either previously approved by the Office of Planning
and Zoning and recorded or recognized by the Office of Planning and
Zoning and recorded in either the Land or Plat records of Anne Arundel
County. Minor changes, such as dividing a recorded lot into two (2)
parts, which are added to adjacent lots to make larger lots, or adjustments
of property lines between lots or minor adjustments of lot lines or acreage
may be handled administratively by the Planning and Zoning Officer.

Resubdivision or modification of existing lots shall conform with the
current zoning of the property, the General Development Plan, the de-
velopment pattern of the area, the density, the lot size, and fully conform
with the Subdivision Regulations.
