(A) No land may be subdivided into buildable lots when it is unsuitable for reasons of flooding, inadequate drainage, soil and rock formations with severe limitation on development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal capabilities, or any other features likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of residents of the city or future residents of the subdivision.
(Prior Code, Ch. 401 § 801.01)
(B) The city reserves the right to decline approval of a subdivision if due regard is not shown for the preservation of all natural features such as large trees, watercourses, scenic points, historical spots and similar city assets which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed development of the property.
(Prior Code, Ch. 401 § 801.02)
