(A) Where land to be subdivided is found by the Planning Board to be subject to the conditions of flooding, improper drainage, severe erosion, slides, or to have other characteristics which pose an ascertainable danger to health, safety, or property, the subdivider shall take measures necessary to correct said conditions and to eliminate said dangers. In making such determinations, the Planning Board may seek to take into consideration the following, if reasonably obtainable: official Federal Emergency Management Agency flood boundary and floodway maps and flood insurance rate maps for the county; the county soil survey; and recommendations from the Tennessee Valley Authority, U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service, and the County Health Department. Any findings made by the Planning Board pursuant to this section and the basis for said findings shall be in writing and recorded in the minutes of the Planning Board.
(B) 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 purposes proposed.
