If the preliminary soil report indicates the presence of
critically expansive soils or other soil problems which, if not
corrected, would lead to structural defects, such ordinance shall
require a soil investigation of each lot in the subdivision.
   The soil investigation shall be prepared by a civil engineer who
is registered in this state.  It shall recommend corrective action
which is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling
proposed to be constructed on the expansive soil.
