(C) No improvements, such as sidewalks, water supply, storm water drainage, sewerage facilities, gas service, electric service or lighting, grading, paving or surfacing of streets shall hereafter be made within any such subdivision by any owner or owners, or his or her or their agent, or by any public service corporation at the request of such owner or owners or his or her or their agent until the plans for the subdivision and also the plans for improvements thereto have been reviewed by the Plan Commission and approved by the City Council.
(D) All interpretations of these rules and regulations are reserved to the administrative bodies referred to herein.
(E) The City Council may vary and make exceptions as set forth herein in instances where there is sufficient evidence, in its opinion, of hardship caused by topographic conditions or where any other reasonable deterrents prevail.
(F) Whenever a parcel is divided into lots containing one to three acres, inclusive, and there are indications that such lots will eventually be resubdivided into smaller building lots, consideration shall be given to the street and lot arrangement of the original subdivision so that additional minor streets can be opened which will permit a logical arrangement of smaller lots.
