(A) General. The C Conservation District encompasses areas that are presently undeveloped or sparsely developed and that, for various reasons, should remain so for the foreseeable future. Tracts of land in this district, which provide the village with valuable natural resources, open space and aid in maintaining the stability of the natural environment, should be preserved and protected. Tracts of land in this district, which are fertile and relatively level, may best be suited for agricultural pursuits. Other tracts in this district may have such poor soils, steep slopes, inadequate natural drainage or other problems, so that the provision and maintenance of roads, utilities and storm water drainage systems would present an impractical or burdensome expensive to the tax-paying public.
