(A) No land shall be used, or structure erected, where the Zoning Administrator, by reason of flooding, concentrated runoff, inadequate drainage, holds the land unsuitable for the use or structure, adverse soil or rock formation, unfavorable topography, low percolation rate or bearing strength, erosion susceptibility or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, well-being, and general welfare of this community.
(B) The Zoning Administrator, in applying the provisions of this section shall, in writing, recite the particular facts upon which he or she bases his or her conclusion that the land is not suitable for certain land uses.
(1) The applicant shall have recourse to the Zoning Board of Appeals to appeal the Zoning Administrator’s findings and to present evidence contesting the unsuitability if he or she so desires.
(2) Thereafter, the Zoning Board of Appeals may affirm, modify, or deny the application or the Zoning Administrator’s determination of unsuitability.
