§ 152.05.19 EXTRATERRITORIAL SUBDIVISION AUTHORITY.
   (A)   The City of Lindstrom, with the authority granted to the city by M.S. § 462.358, as it may be amended from time to time, has extended its subdivision regulation authority to include the areas identified in the Extraterritorial Review Boundary Map kept on file at City Hall. The extraterritorial area has been subdivided into two areas as identified on the aforementioned map. All of the notations, references, and other information shown thereon shall have the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein and thereby are made a part of this chapter by reference.
   (B)   As subdivisions platted beyond the city limits where municipal sewer and water are unavailable require different development criteria, the following divisions establish design standards and procedures for the processing of plats within the extraterritorial area.
   (C)   Although the city has assumed the regulatory authority for the platting process within the extraterritorial area, the zoning authority is retained by Chisago County. As part of the subdivision process, the applicant shall be responsible to confirm with Chisago County that the property can be subdivided in a manner which meets applicable zoning regulations.
   (D)   Properties created by subdivision within the extraterritorial area must meet the following requirements based on the subarea assigned in subsection (A) of this section:
      (1)   Area A.
         (a)   Properties that are more than 1,000 feet from a designated public water shall have a maximum lot size of 12,000 square feet.
         (b)   Properties that are within 1,000 feet of a designated public water shall be limited in lot area and lot width based on the lot type and lake type as identified in the tables below.

      (2)   Area B. Properties within Area B shall have a minimum lot size of ten acres and the ratio of lot frontage to lot depth shall be no more than one to four.
   (E)   A complete subdivision application shall be processed as follows:
      (1)   Minor subdivisions, those which create not more than three parcels, and administrative adjustments may be approved administratively unless other land use or subdivision approvals are needed.
      (2)   Major subdivision, those creating three or more parcels or requiring public infrastructure such as a road, will require Planning Commission and City Council review. The major subdivision process shall follow the processes as outlined in §§ 152.05.14, 152.05.15, and 152.05.16.
   (F)   If the city denies a subdivision application, a subdivision for the same property using the same general arrangement cannot be made for one year after the denial.
   (G)   Property within the extraterritorial area shall remain under the jurisdiction of Chisago County, or the appropriate township, until such time as the property is annexed into the City of Lindstrom. Until annexation occurs, or as otherwise formally approved by the City Council, all public improvements, including, but not limited to streets, storm water management, street and traffic signs, shall not be the responsibility of the City of Lindstrom.
