The subdivision of land is regulated in order to secure an orderly, efficient and economical development of the City and a development which will promote the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of South Euclid. Specifically, subdivision regulations for residential development will ensure that:
(a) Subdivisions are planned, designed and constructed to take advantage of the natural features of the site and to minimize the amount of grading, destruction of trees and removal of topsoil;
(b) Lots have been laid out to promote efficient use of land, to avoid congestion of population, and to assure that the subdivision will be compatible with the development pattern of the neighboring properties;
(c) Lots are developed with adequate site improvements, such as drainage, water, sewers, street surfacing, curbs and sidewalks;
(d) Lands are not subdivided when the results of such subdivision will place a disproportionate burden on public funds in supplying public services;
(e) Proposed streets will compose a convenient circulation system and shall be properly related to any proposals shown on a general development plan or portions of a general plan as may be in existence, and shall be of such width, grade and location as will accommodate the prospective traffic.
