<br />storm drainage, lighting, sewers, electricity, gas, and other utilities; the planning and
<br />design of sites; access to solar energy; and the protection and conservation of flood
<br />plains, shore lands, soils, water, vegetation, energy, air quality, and geologic and
<br />ecologic features. The regulations shall require that subdivisions be consistent with the
<br />municipality's official map if one exists and its zoning ordinance, and may require con-
<br />sistency with other official controls and the comprehensive plan. The regulations may
<br />prohibit certain classes or kinds of subdivisions in areas where prohibition is consistent
<br />with the comprehensive plan and the purposes of this section, particularly the preserva-
<br />tion of agricultural lands. The regulations may prohibit, restrict or control development
<br />for the purpose of protecting and assuring access to direct sunlight for solar energy sys-
<br />tems. The regulations may prohibit, restrict, or control surface, above surface, or sub-
<br />surface development for the purpose of protecting subsurface areas for existing or
<br />potential mined underground space development pursuant to sections 469.135 to
<br />469.141, and access thereto. The regulations may prohibit the issuance of building per-
<br />mits for any tracts, lots, or parcels for which required subdivision approval has not been
<br />obtained.
<br />The regulations may permit the municipality to condition its approval on the con-
<br />struction and installation of sewers, streets, electric, gas, drainage, and water facilities,
<br />and similar utilities and improvements or, in lieu thereof, on the receipt by the munici-
<br />pality of a cash deposit, certified check, irrevocable letter of credit, or bond in an
<br />amount and with surety and conditions sufficient to assure the municipality that the
<br />utilities and improvements will be constructed or installed according to the specifica-
<br />tions of the municipality. Sections 471.345 and 574.26 do not apply to improvements
<br />made by a subdivider or a subdivider's contractor.
<br />The regulations may permit the municipality to condition its approval on compli-
<br />ance with other requirements reasonably related to the provisions of the regulations
<br />and to execute development contracts embodying the terms and conditions of
<br />approval. The municipality may enforce such agreements and conditions by appropri-
<br />ate legal and equitable remedies.
<br />Subd. 2b. Dedication. The regulations may require that a reasonable portion of any
<br />proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for public use as streets.
<br />roads, sewers, electric, gas, and water facilities, storm water drainage and holding areas
<br />or ponds and similar utilities and improvements.
<br />In addition, the regulations may require that a reasonable portion of any proposed
<br />subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for conservation purposes or for
<br />public use as parks, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space; provided that (a) the
<br />municipality may choose to accept an equivalent amount in cash from the applicant
<br />for part or all of the portion required to be dedicated to such public uses or purposes
<br />based on the fair market value of the land no later than at the time of final approval.
<br />(b) any cash payments received shall be placed in a special fund by the municipality
<br />used only for the purposes for which the money was obtained, (c) in establishing the
<br />reasonable portion to be dedicated, the regulations may consider the open space, park.
<br />recreational, or common areas and facilities which the applicant proposes to reserve
<br />for the subdivision, and (d) the municipality reasonably determines that it will need
<br />to acquire that portion of land for the purposes stated in this paragraph as a result of
<br />approval of the subdivision.
<br />Subd. 3. [Repealed, 1980 c 566 s 35]
<br />Subd. 3a. Platting. The regulations may require that any subdivision creating par-
<br />cels, tracts, or lots, shall be platted. The regulations shall require that all subdivisions
<br />which create five or more lots or parcels which are 2 -1/2 acres or less in size shall be
<br />platted. The regulations shall not conflict with the provisions of chapter 505 but may
<br />address subjects similar and additional to those in that chapter.
<br />Subd. 3b. Review procedures. The regulations shall include provisions regarding
<br />the content of applications for proposed subdivisions, the preliminary and final review
<br />and approval or disapproval of applications, and the coordination of such reviews with
