No part of the minimum lot area required under the applicable zoning ordinance, zoning commitment, variance grant or development plan approval may be satisfied by land that is under water. Where a watercourse separates the buildable area of the lot from the street by which it has access, provisions shall be made for the installation of a culvert or other appropriate structure, of a design approved by the Town Engineer. If a subdivision contains an existing or to be developed waterbody, watercourse, or portion thereof, appropriate documentary assurances acceptable to the Plan Commission shall be provided for the maintenance of such waterbody or watercourse.
