No plat shall be approved for any subdivision which covers an area subject to periodic flooding or which is otherwise poorly drained unless the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City Engineer, make the area completely safe for occupancy and provide adequate street and lot drainage and conform to applicable regulations of other agencies such as the U.S. Corps of Engineers and the Department of Natural Resources. In addition, the plats may not be approved if the cost of providing municipal services to protect the flood plain area would impose an unreasonable economic burden upon the city.
