1222.04 PRINCIPLES OF ACCEPTABLE SUBDIVISION DESIGN.
   (a)   All subdivision development shall conform with the Comprehensive Plan, as adopted.
   (b)   The proposed subdivision and its ultimate use shall be in the best interests of the public welfare and the neighborhood development of the area. Land to be subdivided shall be of such a character that it can be used safely for building purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace, and land shall not be subdivided until it is shown that adequate public facilities and improvements will exist and that proper provision has been made for drainage, water supply, sewage disposal, transportation facilities and recreational facilities.
   (c)   The tract to be subdivided should not encroach upon an area designated in the Comprehensive Plan for future public facilities. Such area shall be incorporated in all plans or plats and such land may be required to be reserved for one year after approval thereof, or for a longer period as may be mutually agreed upon, to allow the City or other appropriate agencies time to acquire such land.
   (d)   In all subdivisions, due regard shall be shown for all natural features such as large trees, watercourses, historical locations and similar community assets, which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and value to the property and will preserve the resources of the community.
