These regulations are further for the purpose of controlling the future development of the Village and for the promotion of the public health and safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of persons living within the territory governed by the Village. The provisions and regulations in this chapter shall govern the subdivision and platting of lands and civil engineering improvements within planned unit developments and condominiums lying within the corporate limits of the Village as now or hereafter existing and, to the extent that such provisions and regulations may be applicable, shall also govern the subdivision and platting of lands, and the civil engineering improvements within planned unit developments, condominiums or subdivisions lying within contiguous territory which is not more than 1 1/2 miles beyond the corporate limits of the Village.

Lands subject to flooding and land deemed to be topographically unsuitable should not be subdivided for residential purposes, nor for such other uses as may increase danger to health, life or property, or aggravate erosion or flood hazards.

Any existing or future Village Planning Commission shall not approve the subdivision of land if, upon adequate investigation conducted by the Planning Commission, it has been determined by the Village Planning Commission that, in the best interest of the public, the site is not suitable for the subdivision and development of the kind proposed. In making this evaluation, the Village Planning Commission shall make reference to applicable portions of any Village Comprehensive Plan, Village Zoning Ordinance, any Vermilion County Comprehensive Plan, and other general standards of the community in force at the time of this determination.
After the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, no permanent building or structure shall be erected within the extended street lines of proposed extensions of major streets shown on the major street plan adopted as part of the comprehensive plan for the Village of Oakwood.
