GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
§ 152.001 PURPOSE.
   Land subdivision is the first step in the process of community development. Once land has been divided into streets, blocks, lots and open spaces, a pattern has been established which determines how well community needs for residence, business and industry will be met. It also determines, to a great extent, how well the community will be able to handle its traffic circulation problems, how well it will be able to meet the demand for more home sites and how efficiently and economically it will be able to provide the many services that are required. These subdivision regulations are designed to provide the many services that are required. These subdivision regulations are designed to provide for harmonious development of a subdivided area; for a coordinated layout; for the proper arrangement of streets; for adequate and convenient spaces for traffic, utilities, recreation, light, air and access for firefighting equipment; and for adequate provision for water, drainage, sewer and other sanitary facilities. These regulations shall not apply to land used only for agricultural purposes.
(Ord. 232, passed 11-1-2000)
§ 152.002 LEGAL AUTHORITY.
   This chapter is enacted pursuant to M.S. § 462.358, as amended from time to time.
(Ord. 232, passed 11-1-2000)
§ 152.003 JURISDICTION.
   The regulations herein governing plats and the subdivision of land shall apply within the corporate limits of the city as determined by plat at the time of application and the unincorporated area within two miles of its limits; provided that, where a municipality lies less than four miles from the limits of the city, these regulations shall apply only to a line equidistant from the city and the municipality; and, provided further, that, the governing body or bodies of incorporated towns adjacent to the city have not adopted ordinances for the regulation of subdivision of land or platting. Copies of resolutions approving subdivision plats of land outside the city, but not subject to township subdivision regulations shall be filed with the Clerk of the town in which the land is situated.
(Ord. 232, passed 11-1-2000)
§ 152.004 APPLICABILITY.
   Any plat, hereafter made, for each subdivision or each part thereof lying within the jurisdiction of this chapter, shall be prepared, presented for approval and recorded as herein prescribed. The regulations contained herein shall apply to the subdivision of a lot, tract or parcel of land into three or more lots, tracts or other division of land for the purpose of sale or building development, whether immediate or future, including the re-subdivision or re-platting of land or lots.
(Ord. 232, passed 11-1-2000)
§ 152.005 CONVEYANCE OF LAND.
   No conveyance of a parcel of land in which the parcel of land conveyed is described by metes and bounds or by reference of a plat made after adoption of these platting regulations without recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, approval by Council resolution, shall be made or recorded unless the parcel is a separate parcel of record on the effective date of this chapter or unless an agreement to convey the parcel was entered into prior to the time and the instrument showing agreement to convey is recorded in the office of the County Recorder within one year hereafter. A registered land survey identifying the lot split and the two resulting lots shall be submitted with this request. All existing structures and the setbacks from property lines, easements, adjacent streets and rights-of-way shall be identified on the survey.
