(D) Subdivisions of land lying outside of the village and within one and one-half miles of the village limits shall also be required to conform with the requirements of this chapter or the regulations of Lake County whenever said county requirements are more stringent than the provisions of this chapter.
(E) Where a tract of land is proposed for subdivision that is part of a large, logical subdivision unit in relation to the village as a whole, the Village Mayor and Board of Trustees may cause to be prepared a possible plan of the entire area; such plan to be used by the Planning and Zoning Board and the Village Board as an aid in judging the proposed plat.
(F) All interpretations of these rules and regulations are reserved to the administrative bodies referred to herein.
(G) The Village Board, in accordance with § 152.006 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, provided the variations or exceptions are in substantial conformance with the standards of design of this chapter.
(H) Whenever the area is divided into lots containing one to three acres, inclusive, and there are indications that such lots could 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.
