               Land which has been determined by the planning board or the board of commissioners
               on the basis of engineering or other expert surveys to pose an ascertainable danger
               to life or property by reason of its unsuitability for the use proposed shall not
               be platted for that purpose, unless the subdivider has taken the necessary measures

               All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage.
               No subdivision shall be created on property entirely within the 100-year floodplain
               that requires the building of a new road. Property partially within the floodplain
               may be subdivided if each proposed lot contains an area outside the floodplain equal
               to the minimum lot size requirement, and any new road is built above the 100-year
               floodplain level.
