(a) Natural Land Use. Subdivisions shall be planned to take advantage of the topography of the land, to allow the efficient construction of drainage facilities, to minimize the amount of grading and to minimize destruction of trees and topsoil.
(b) Flood Hazard. If any portion of the land within a subdivision is subject to flooding or other hazards, due consideration shall be given to such problems in the design of the subdivision. Land subject to flooding and land uninhabitable for other reasons shall not be platted for residential occupancy nor for other uses that may increase danger to health, life or property or aggravate flooding or other hazards.
(c) Erosion and Sedimentation Hazard. Land which is subject to moderate or severe erosion hazards, as determined from the Soil Survey Map (see Appendix J following these Subdivision Regulations) shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Engineer and they shall impose such controls as are deemed necessary to minimize such hazards.
