Proposed development shall also conform to the standards and management programs of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan as contained within this chapter.
In accordance with good design practices, extreme deviations from rectangular lot shapes and straight lot lines shall not be allowed unless made necessary by special topographical conditions or other special conditions acceptable to the approving authority. All improvements shall be installed and connected with existing facilities or installed in required locations to enable future connections with approved systems or contemplated systems, and shall be adequate to handle all present and probable future development.
