The agent shall not approve the subdivision of land if it is
determined by the agent that the site is not suitable for platting because of possible
flooding, improper drainage, steep slopes, inadequate water or sanitation, the existence
of utilities and easements or other features deemed not to be in the best interests of the
public safety, health and general welfare.
Each lot shall be suitable for a building site. Where public
utilities are unavailable, each lot, other than recreation or public service lots, shall
pass a percolation test for the installation of a septic system with both a primary and a
one hundred percent (100%) reserve drainfield and have a suitable location for a potable
water well. Land not suitable within a proposed subdivision shall be platted only for uses
not endangered by periodic or occasional inundation and only where it will not produce
conditions contrary to the public welfare. Otherwise, such non-suitable land shall be
combined with other lots.
