Where the subdivision of a lot or tract of land contains water courses, floodable areas or wetlands, said land shall be:
(A) Dedicated to the city as a park, parkway, open space, or other public use; or
(B) Carried in a private easement to the individual deeds affected with no allowance for building construction therein; or
(C) Developed in accordance with a plan setting forth provisions for sediment control, water management, maintenance of landscaped features, and indicating any change will be made in the natural condition of the earth and its effects, if any, upon water courses, lakes, streams, wetlands and drainage ways;
(D) (1) Not approved as a final plat, if located within 300 feet of the Sunrise River and no control sewer is available, until the subdivider has submitted data from percolation tests and soil borings which prove that each lot in the subdivision has a suitable location and an adequate area for the installation of an on-site sewage treatment system that meets the general requirements of the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
(2) The Planning Commission and Council shall review the option selected and approve or disapprove said dedication, private easement or development plan. In no case shall land be subdivided which is held unsuitable by the city or the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the proposed use because of flooding, inadequate drainage, soil and rock formations with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal capabilities, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the city.
