and requirements of this chapter.
A.
Suitability. No land shall be subdivided for residential, commercial

Board, upon the recommendation of the Plan Commission, for reason
of flooding, inadequate drainage, adverse soil or rock formation,
unfavorable topography or any other feature likely to be harmful to
the health, safety, or welfare of the future residents of the proposed
subdivision or of the community. The Village Board, in applying the
provisions of this section, shall in writing recite the particular
facts upon which it bases its conclusion that the land is not suitable
for residential use and afford the subdivider an opportunity to present
evidence regarding such unsuitability if he so desires. Thereafter
the Village Board may affirm, modify, or withdraw its determination
of unsuitability.
B.
Existing flora. The subdivider shall make every effort to protect
and retain all existing trees, shrubbery, vines, and grasses not actually
lying in public roadways, drainageways, building foundation sites,
private driveways, soil absorption waste disposal areas, paths, and
trails. Such trees are to be protected and preserved during construction
in accordance with sound conservation practices, possibly including
the preservation of trees by well islands or retaining walls whenever
abutting grades are altered, pursuant to a landscaping plan filed
by the subdivider.
