   (b)   All applications for approvals of plats of subdivision or plats of vacation shall be reviewed by the plan commission and the board of trustees in accordance with the standards and procedures set forth in §§ 31-1.21, 1.22 and 1.23 of this chapter, and the following additional general standards.

(Ord. No. 06-09-3151).

      (1)   The subdivision is consistent with the zoning code.

      (2)   The subdivision will not create a nonconforming building, nonconforming use or nonconforming lot, nor will the subdivision create, increase or extend any existing nonconformity.

      (3)   The subdivision will accommodate development on a lot that will comply with required setbacks and will not result in the substantial loss of existing trees or the significant alteration of the existing topography on the lot.

      (4)   The subdivision will not substantially modify or threaten the integrity of natural resources, including without limitation existing steep slopes, floodplains, wetlands, mature trees or the use of public open spaces.

      (5)   The proposed development of the subdivision will not result in an increase in the storm water release rate from the subdivision.

      (6)   The subdivision will be served by adequate sewer or water service, electric service, natural gas and other public or private utilities available within the village.

      (7)   The subdivision will dedicate easements or rights-of-way necessary to provide for current and future extension of public utilities and services.

      (8)   The existing public street system, and any proposed extension of that system, is sufficient to meet the projected traffic demand that will be created by the subdivision.

      (9)   The design of the proposed street improvements meets minimum village standards and does not exceed village standards in a manner that threatens the health, safety or welfare, such as by inducing excessive speed of travel or modifying traffic patterns in a manner inconsistent with street design capabilities or by unnecessarily displacing pervious open spaces.

      (10)   The subdivision will extend, or does not inhibit the extension of, the existing village street system and recognizes the interconnection of adjacent neighborhoods.

      (11)   The subdivision will provide appropriate access and turning movements for vehicles, and the proposed access is not so large so as to be inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood surrounding the subdivision.

      (12)   The development of the subdivision can be accomplished in a manner that does not unduly disrupt or damage public services or facilities.
