I. The relationship of the proposed subdivision or development to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for the area;

J. The safety of access to the property for emergency vehicles in times of flood;

K. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the floodwaters expected at the site;

L. The cost of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems and streets and bridges;
