In order to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the people, the Planning Commission will reject any proposed subdivision located in an area subject to periodic flooding. Whenever a subdivision is proposed to be located in an area having poor drainage or other adverse physical characteristics, the Commission may approve the plat, provided the subdivider legally binds himself to make such improvements as, in the judgment of the Engineer, will render the subdivision safe and acceptable for the intended use. In this case, the subdivider shall post a surety performance bond sufficient to cover the cost of such improvements as estimated by the official having jurisdiction.
