The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements will not
likely cause serious public health problems because water and sanitary facilities
services will be available to the two new parcels.
The density of the subdivision is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development.
The design of the proposed subdivision and improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or subsequently injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat since this property is in an area where residential development
has previously occurred.
The design of thc proposed subdivision and proposed improvements will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or
use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
