2. The design of the subdivision fails to provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision.
3. The site is not physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development.
4. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
5. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
