In reviewing a major subdivision, the reviewing authority shall
take into consideration the effect of the development upon all aspects
of the environment as outlined in the environmental impact statement
requirements, as well as the sufficiency of the applicant's proposal
in his environmental impact statement for dealing with any immediate
or projected adverse environmental effects. The reviewing authority
may require, as a condition of approval of the application, that steps
be taken to minimize the adverse environmental impact during and after
construction, and no final approval shall be issued until all such
requirements shall have been complied with or compliance is guaranteed
by a performance guaranty meeting the requirements of §§ 75-84G
and 75-104.1 of this chapter.
