(A) If the Plan Commission finds that land proposed to be subdivided is unsuitable for subdivision development due to flooding, poor drainage, steep slopes, rock formations, and other such conditions as may increase the danger of health, life, or property or aggravate erosion or flood hazards: and, if from adequate investigations, conducted by all the public agencies concerned, it has been determined that in the best interest of the public the land should not be platted and developed for the purpose proposed, the Plan Commission shall not approve the land for subdivision unless adequate methods are formulated by the subdivider for meeting the problems that will be created by the subdivision and development of the land.
(B) The Plan Commission may refuse to approve what it considers to be scattered or premature subdivision of land which would involve danger or injury to the public health, safety, welfare, or prosperity by reason of lack of adequate water supply, schools, proper drainage, good roads and transportation facilities, or other public services; or which would necessitate an excessive expenditure of public funds for the supply of such services (such as undue maintenance costs for adequate roads). The Plan Commission may require the subdivider to prepare an impact study, reviewed by a licensed surveyor or engineer, to show that the proposed development will not adversely affect the existing infrastructure.
