There is a mutual responsibility between the
subdivider and the County of Shenandoah to divide the land so as to
improve the general use pattern of land being subdivided.
The agent shall not approve the subdivision
of land if from adequate investigations 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.
[Amended 12-12-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-06]
Land subject to flooding, as defined in Article XVI, Floodplain Regulations, of Chapter 165, Zoning, and land to be topographically unsuitable including the presence of sinkholes, critical slopes, or wetlands shall not be platted for residential occupancy, nor for other such uses as may increase danger of health, life or property, or aggravate erosion or flood hazard. Such land within the 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 the public welfare. Compliance with Article XVI, Floodplain Regulations, of Chapter 165, Zoning, shall be required.
