At all lot corners not falling on the above locations by a three-fourths inch diameter by twenty-four inch long iron pipe or larger size, properly tagged, top at finish grade or slightly below grade.

(1) 
Produce a more desirable and livable community than the minimum requirements in this chapter;
(2) 
Create better community environment through dedication of public areas, or setting out permanent scenic easements or open spaces, rearrangement of lot sizes, or reforestation of barren areas;
