Preservation of natural cover. Land to be subdivided
and/or developed shall be laid out and improved in reasonable conformity
to existing topography, in order to minimize grading, cut and fill
and to retain, insofar as possible, the natural contours, limit stormwater
runoff and conserve the natural cover and soil. No topsoil, sand or
gravel shall be removed from any lots shown on any subdivision plat
except for the purpose of improving such lots and for the laying out
of streets shown thereon. Topsoil so removed shall be restored to
a depth of six inches and properly seeded and fertilized on the areas
of such lots not occupied by buildings or structures. No excess topsoil
so removed shall be disposed of outside of the boundaries of the village
except upon the approval of the Board of Trustees of the village.
