Splitting 10 acres into smaller lots

[Dee Mandrekar]

I am looking for purchasing a property which has house on it and 10 acres on it. Plan is to rent the house for few years and then later on either add more homes to the property or split the land up into smaller lots. Is there a restriction that does not allow to further split the land up if it was already split once as part of a big land before? What are my options here? Experts Thank you in advance for your suggestions. :)
