Minnesota Statutes Sections 462.358 and 505.03 convey responsibilities and authority to cities for the establishment of platting and subdivision regulations. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish platting and subdivision regulations that:
1. Provide for the orderly, efficient, and safe development of land, urban services and facilities;
2. Promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community by establishing physical standards, design requirements, and procedures for the platting and subdivision of land; and
3. Establish procedures that permit flexibility in land development.
