(A) Conformity to plans. All subdivisions shall conform to the official plan, or adopted segments thereof; to the zoning code and subdivision code; and to all other pertinent ordinances, resolutions and plans.
(B) Interpretations. In order to promote the best possible development and use of land, the Plan Commission shall interpret the standards, provisions and specifications contained in this chapter liberally and in favor of the community interest. Exceptions from these standards, provisions and specifications may be granted when shown conclusively and to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission that the exceptions will bring about a more logical and desirable result than would be obtained by strict compliance.
(C) Natural features.
(1) Each subdivision shall be appropriate to the topography, the drainage and other natural features of the site. Developments shall be so laid out that they will tend to preserve, enhance and promote the public benefit from natural scenic beauty.
(2) No live tree exceeding three inches in diameter one foot above the ground may be cut down or otherwise removed from the land within any subdivision without the approval of the Plan Commission. In instances where the removal of trees is authorized, the Plan Commission at its option may require the replacement of the trees in accordance with the provisions of §§ 154.070 through 154.081.
