Subdivisions should be planned to take advantage
of the topography of the land to economize in the construction of
drainage facilities, to reduce the amount of grading and to minimize
the destruction of trees and topsoil.
If any portion of the land within the subdivision
is subject to flooding or other hazards, due consideration shall be
given to such problems in the design of the subdivision. Land subject
to flooding and land otherwise uninhabitable shall not be platted
for residential occupancy nor for such other uses that may increase
danger to health, life or property or aggravate the flood hazard.
