Land subject to flooding, improper drainage, and erosion, as determined by the planning commission, and any land deemed by the planning commission to be unsuitable for development shall not be platted for any uses as may continue such conditions or increase danger of health, safety, life, or property unless steps are taken to eliminate the above-mentioned hazards.

132.1. Every subdivision and every lot within such subdivision shall be served by publicly dedicated street, except as herein provided.

132.2. When land is subdivided into larger parcels than ordinary building lots, such parcels shall be arranged and designed so as to allow for the opening of future streets and to provide access to those areas not presently served by streets.

132.3. No subdivision shall be designed so as to completely eliminate street access to adjoining parcels of land.

133.1. All proposed subdivisions shall conform to the master comprehensive plan and development policies in effect at the time of submission to the planning commission.

133.2. All highways, streets, and other features of the master comprehensive plan shall be platted by the subdivider in the location and to the dimension indicated on the comprehensive plan. In subdivisions related to or affecting any state or federally numbered highway, the approval of the Georgia Department of Transportation may be required by the planning commission.

133.3. Where features of the comprehensive plan (other than minor streets and collector streets) such as school sites, parks, arterial streets, major thoroughfares, and other public spaces are located in whole or in part in a proposed subdivision, or when these features have not been anticipated by the comprehensive plan and planning policy, but are considered essential by the planning commission, such features shall be dedicated or in lieu of dedication shall be reserved by the subdivider. Whenever such reserved land, or any portion thereof, is not acquired, optioned, or condemned by the appropriate public agency within a one-year period from the date of recording the subdivision, the subdivider may claim the original reservation, or portion thereof, and cause it to be subdivided in a manner suitable to the subdivider, subject to the provisions of these rules and regulations.

133.4. The planning commission may waive the above-mentioned platting and reservation requirements of section 133.2 and section 133.3, whenever the public body responsible for land acquisition executes a written release stating that such a planned feature is not being acquired.

133.5. Whenever the plat proposes the dedication of land to public use and the planning commission or the appropriate agency finds that such land is not required or suitable for public use, the planning commission may either refuse to approve said plat or it may require the rearrangement of lots to include such land.

Whenever there is a discrepancy between minimum standards or dimensions noted herein and those contained in zoning regulations, building code, or other official regulations or resolutions, the most restrictive shall apply.

135.1. The standards and requirements of these regulations may be modified in the case of a plan and program for a planned unit development which is not divided into customary lots, blocks, and streets, which, in the judgment of the planning commission, provides adequate public spaces and improvements for the circulation, recreation, light, air, and service needs of the tract when fully developed and populated, provided zoning density standards for the entire tract are not exceeded, and which also provides such covenants or other legal procedures as will assure [ensure] conformity to and achievement of the plan. Plans for such developments shall be submitted to and approved by the planning commission, whether or not such plat is to be recorded, and no building permits shall be issued until such approval has been given.

135.2. No plans for a planned unit development or a community unit plan shall be reviewed or approved by the commission before the developer's site has been zoned to allow such use.

136.1. Modifications of the provisions set forth in these rules and regulations may be authorized by the planning commission in specific cases when, in its opinion, undue hardships may result from strict compliance; provided any such determination shall be based fundamentally on the fact that unusual topographical and other exceptional conditions require such modifications, and that the granting of the modifications will not adversely affect the general public or nullify the intent of these regulations; provided further that any such modification granted by the planning commission shall be made in writing to the subdivider and also made a part of the planning commission's records and the plat.

136.2. Application for any modifications must be filed in writing with necessary supporting documents with the planning commission by the subdivider and shall explain in detail the reasons and facts supporting the application.

The name of the subdivision shall not duplicate nor closely approximate the name of an existing subdivision, except in the case where the subdivision is a section or part of a larger contiguous subdivision being developed by the same subdivider in phases, sections or stages. In this case, the name of the overall subdivision can be used for each phase, stage or section, but the phase, stage or section number must also be included as part of the name.
