(A) Natural land use. Subdivisions should be planned to take advantage of the topography of the land to economize the construction of drainage facilities, to reduce the amount of grading, and to minimize destruction of trees and topsoil.
(B) Flood hazard. If any portion of the land within the subdivision is subject to flooding or other hazards, due consideration shall be given to such problems in the design of the subdivision. Land subject to flooding and land otherwise uninhabitable shall not be platted for residential occupancy or for such other uses that may increase danger to health, life, or property or aggravate the flood hazard.
