Approval of Preliminary Plat
Subdivision 1.
The Council may require such changes or revisions as it deems necessary for the
health, safety, general welfare and convenience of the City.

The approval of a preliminary plat is tentative only, involving merely the general
acceptability of the layout as submitted.

Engineer and other public officials having jurisdiction will be required of the
engineering proposals pertaining to water supply, storm drainage, sewerage and
sewage disposal, roadway widths and the surfacing of streets.
Subdivision 4.
No plat will be approved for subdivision which covers an area subject to periodic
flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage facilities and which would make
adequate drainage of the streets and lots difficult or impossible, unless the
subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City
Engineer, make the area completely safe for occupancy, and provide adequate
street and lot drainage.
Subdivision 5.
No plat will be approved for subdivision that does not meet the requirements
specified in Section 12.20, Minimum Subdivision Design Standards, and Section
