(A) No floodprone land shall be subdivided which is found unsuitable for its intended use by reasons of flooding, inadequate drainage, soil and rock formations with severe limitations for development, susceptibility for mud slides or earth slides, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal capacities or any other feature harmful to health, safety or welfare of the future residents of the community. However, the city may approve the preliminary and finals plats if the subdivider improves the land through fill or other techniques to provide building sites free from flooding, design roads to provide safe access during times of flood, and locate or design public facilities, such as gas, electrical and water systems to provide protection from the regional flood and undertake other measures to overcome development limitations and thereby render the land unsuitable for its intended use. The city may approve preliminary and final plats if the subdivider agrees to make suitable improvements and places a sum in escrow sufficient to guarantee performance of this agreement. Land subdivisions shall not be approved if the cost of providing governmental services will impose an unreasonable economic burden on the city.
(B) All plats must meet the requirements of the M.S. Chapter 505, as it may be amended from time to time. In addition, flood hazard areas shall be clearly labeled on the plat.
(C) Restrictive deed covenants shall be filed with the final plat and shall provide that the flood plain areas be left essentially in the state shown on the plat, establish finished elevations of buildings, structures and private streets and roads, and require that additions or modifications to these facilities will not violate any provisions of the flood plain zoning regulations or supplemental regulations.
