this article, the Commission or the governing body of either
county may prepare regulations and amendments governing the
subdivision of land within the regional district or the
respective portions of the regional district within Montgomery or
Prince George's County. The regulations and amendments shall be
adopted by the respective governing bodies of the counties, with
whatever changes they consider appropriate, and shall be
effective from the date of adoption or from such other date the
governing body designates provided that such adoption does not
affect in any manner the administration of the regulations by the
Commission or its functions under § 7-115 hereof. In Montgomery
County, on the adoption of any subdivision regulation or
amendment by the district council, the regulation or amendment
shall be delivered within 3 days to the County Executive who
within 10 days thereafter shall approve or disapprove the
regulation or amendment. If the County Executive disapproves the
regulation or amendment, it shall be returned to the council with
the reasons for the disapproval stated in writing. The council,
by the affirmative vote of 5 members, may enact the regulation or
amendment over the disapproval of the County Executive. Failure
of the County Executive to act within 10 days constitutes
approval of the regulation or amendment. The regulations may
provide for (1) the harmonious development of the district; (2)
the coordination of roads within the subdivision with other
existing planned or platted roads or with other features of the
district or with the Commission's general plan or with any road
plan adopted or approved by the Commission as part of the
Commission's general plan; (3) adequate open spaces for traffic,
