GENERAL PROVISIONS
In order to safeguard the best interest of the city and to assist the subdivider in harmonizing the subdivider’s interests with those of the city at large, this chapter is adopted. Because each new subdivision becomes a permanent unit in the basic structure of the expanding community, and to which the community will be forced to adhere, and because piecemeal planning of subdivisions will bring on undesirable disconnected patchwork of pattern and poor circulation of traffic unless its design and arrangement is correlated to a Comprehensive Plan of the city aiming at a unified scheme of community interests, all subdivisions of land hereafter submitted for approval to the Planning and Zoning Commission shall, in all respects fully comply with the regulations hereinafter set forth in this chapter. It is the purpose of this chapter to make certain regulations and requirements for the platting of land within the city, pursuant to the authority contained in Minnesota Statutes Annotated, which regulations the Council deems necessary for health, safety, and the general welfare.
(Ord. 239, § 1500, passed 1-22-2000)
The regulations governing plats and the subdivision of land shall apply within the corporate limits of the city and the unincorporated area within 2 miles of its limits; provided that where a municipality lies less than 4 miles from the limits of Wells, these regulations shall apply only to a line equidistant from Wells and the municipality; and provided further, that the governing body or bodies of unincorporated areas adjacent to the city have not adopted ordinances for the regulation of subdivision of land or platting.
(Ord. 239, § 1501, passed 1-22-2000)
