The Municipal officials concerned with property development shall take into account that it is increasingly difficult to forecast the various conditions and factors that may be encountered in sizable developments, and that certain latitude, flexibility and freedom in the execution of the design and layout of a project should be suggested or otherwise permitted by the Municipality so as to encourage the developer to adjust streets to irregular topography; to take advantage of topography in order to utilize the natural surface drainage; to economize in the construction of sewers and storm drainage facilities; to reduce the amount of grading and thus minimize destruction of trees and topsoil; to adjust the layout to geographical and cultural limitations, such as property ownership lines; and, among other things, to create architectural variation in the development as well as attractive and usable buildings and building sites. Further, such developments shall be designed so as to enhance the community in general by providing amenities which are unique to the community.
