Lack of Adequate Drainage: A condition of inadequate drainage shall be deemed to exist if: 1\. Surface or subsurface water retention/detention and runoff is such that it constitutes a danger to the structural security of the proposed development, or flood of the subdivision or downstream property. 2\. The proposed subdivision will cause pollution of water sources or damage from erosion and siltation on downhill or downstream land. 3\. The proposed site grading and development will cause siltation on downstream land. 4\. Factors to be considered in making these determinations shall include, but shall not be limited to: average rainfall for the area; the relation of the land to flood plains; the nature of soils and sub-soils and their ability to adequately support surface water runoff and waste disposal systems; the slope of the land and its effect on effluents; and the presence of streams as related to effluent disposal. B. Lack of Adequate Water Supply: A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to lack an adequate water supply if the proposed subdivision does not have adequate sources of water to serve the proposed subdivision if developed to its maximum permissible density without causing an unreasonable depreciation of existing water supplies for surrounding areas. <!-- PageNumber="10 - 45" --> <!-- PageBreak --> C.

The traffic volume generated by the proposed subdivision would create unreasonable traffic congestion or unsafe conditions on highways existing at the time of the application or proposed for completion within the next two (2) years.

Lack of Adequate Waste Disposal Systems: A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to lack adequate waste disposal systems if soil tests, drainfield areas or other such factors relating to on-site waste disposal systems are judged as inadequate for the use proposed. E. Providing Public Improvements: If public improvements, such as recreational facilities, streets and utilities, reasonably necessitated by the subdivision, which must be provided at public expense, cannot be provided for within the next two (2) fiscal years. F. Threat to Environmentally Essential Areas: The proposed subdivision is inconsistent with policies and standards of the City, the County, the State, or Federal Government relating to environmentally sensitive areas and protections.
