(A) If, based on an inventory and evaluation of the soil and water resources of the tract under consideration, the Planning Board determines that the tract or a portion of the tract is not suited for the use proposed, that area shall not be platted unless (1) the subdivider has permanently remedied the condition which made the land unsuitable or (2) all the area requirements of the ordinance are met by each lot without including the unsuitable land in the calculation. Areas that have been used for disposal of solid waste shall not be subdivided unless tests by the County Health Department, a structural engineer and a soils expert determine that the land is suitable for the purpose proposed.
(B) Land which the Planning Board finds to be unsuited for development due to improper drainage, topography, soil characteristics, ground water elevation, susceptibility to flooding or failure to met the criteria of G.S. Ch. 130A shall not be subdivided, unless adequate methods are utilized to correct the unsuitable conditions. Any land disturbing activity shall be accomplished in accordance with the requirements of G.S. Ch. 113A, Art. 4. Any required land preparation must be completed prior to submission of the final plat for approval.
