Alternatives to the standard preliminary and final plat procedures and requirements may be permitted under certain conditions as defined below in minor subdivisions and registered land surveys.
A. Minor Subdivision Procedures: Minor subdivision shall conform to all requirements of standard subdivision except that some of the information requirements such as the engineering feasibility report may be waived by the city staff. Property may be subdivided through an minor subdivision procedure which combines the preliminary and final plat procedures in conformance with the following conditions:
1. The resulting subdivision shall contain no more than four (4) parcels.
2. The proposed subdivision shall be in areas where municipal streets and utilities are already in place and capable of serving the plat.
3. Future streets shall not be constructed and the proposed subdivision shall not interfere with proper development of neighboring adjacent properties.
4. Resulting parcels shall conform with all zoning ordinance requirements.
B. Registered Land Survey (RLS): Registered land surveys shall not be used to avoid the requirements of this title. A registered land survey for parcels of less than five (5) acres in size or three hundred feet (300') in width shall be reviewed by the commission and approved by the council in the same manner as a preliminary plat. Such approval shall be attached to the survey. All registered land surveys shall be prepared in conformance with Minnesota statutes, section 508.47, subdivision 4. (Ord. B-91, 8-5-1997, eff. 8-11-1997; amd. Ord. B-286, 12-15-2020)
