There is a mutual responsibility between the
subdivider and the Town to divide any land within the Town so as to
improve the general use pattern of the land being subdivided.
The agent shall not approve the subdivision
of land if, from adequate investigation conducted by all public agencies
concerned, it has been determined that, in the best interest of the
public, the site is not suitable for platting and development purposes
of the kind proposed.
A.
Land subject to flooding and land deemed to be topographically
unsuitable shall not be platted for residential occupancy or for such
other uses as may increase danger of health, life or property or aggravate
erosion or flood hazard. Such land, if any, within any subdivision
shall be set aside on the plat for such uses as shall not be endangered
by periodic or occasional inundation or shall not produce conditions
contrary to public welfare.
B.
The applicant for any subdivision of lots shall submit
with his application a statement by a licensed surveyor or engineer
as to whether or not any property in the proposed subdivision lies
within the one-hundred-year floodplain. When property lies within
the one-hundred-year floodplain, the extent of the floodplain shall
be shown on the plat.
