If two or more non-contiguous cities have <br /> boundaries less than four miles apart, each may control the subdivision of <br /> land at equal distance from its boundaries within this area. Enforcement <br /> procedures are the same as if the regulation occurred inside the city's <br /> boundaries. The enforcement authority continues until the county or town <br /> board adopts comprehensive regulations that encompass the unincorporated <br /> territory. <br /> Minn.scat §462.358. Another option is available with regard to regulation in these unincorporated <br /> areas.Upon the request of a city, county or the adjacent town,the involved <br /> parties must set up a board to exercise planning and land use control authority <br /> in those areas within two miles of the corporate limits of the city.

The official map <br /> Minn.stat §462.359. As a planning tool, official maps ensure that land the city needs for street <br /> widening, street extensions, future streets, and other public purposes will be <br /> available at basic land prices. To accomplish this, cities have authority to <br /> adopt official maps that lay out new streets across unplatted territory, <br /> showing future widening or extensions of existing streets and other public <br /> uses. While the planning agency or commission can prepare the map, the <br /> council must approve the map before it has any legal effect. Land use permits <br /> can ensure compliance with official maps. <br /> HANDBOOK FOR MINNESOTA CITES <br /> 15-31 <br /> This chapter last revised 12/15/2004 <br />
