How to get curves at the intersection of primitives?

Hello!

I am using Labs Lot Subdivision to create simulated urban areas. The original curve was drawn by hand.

Screenshot 1 - Curve after Lot Subdivision

Screenshot 2 - Object structure after Lot Subdivision

Screenshot 3 - the desired result obtained by manually deleting points

The question is, how to get a similar result procedurally with an arbitrary input curve?

I've tried boolean (seams) and intersection stitch, but both results cannot be used.

Im sure you probably have already solved this, but you can just use a polywire on the original edge and use that to group the boundry points of the lot subdivision. You can then group promote the boundry point group to a edge group and simply disolve the boundary group, this should leave you with the inside curves.
