Suitability analysis by the local unit of <br />government shall consider susceptibility to flooding, <br />existence of wetlands, soil and rock formations with <br />severe limitations for development, severe erosion <br />potential, steep topography, inadequate water supply or <br />sewage treatment capabilities, near -shore aquatic <br />conditions unsuitable for water -based recreation, <br />important fish and wildlife habitat, presence of <br />significant historic sites, or any other feature of the <br />natural land likely to be harmful to the health, safety, <br />or welfare of future residents of the proposed <br />subdivision of Little Canada. <br />B.
