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